Give some more info! It LOOKS good, but:

-What pads and rotors?
-How is stopping performance?
-How is the dust?
-What did you use for paint?

[andremike]

Rotors are centric stoptech, obviously drilled and slotted

For pads i used the centric posi quiet ceramics. So far very low dust. I didnt want to use the stoptech pads.. seemed to agressive to me.

When i painted the calipers, i took everything apart so i can wrap tge edges and make it look likenit was powder coated. . I also put on new hardware. Ii used tge G2 paint system.

Doing the rears this weekend


Bought everything on rockauto. I like the centric over the powerstop because of tge black on the hub. Plus i think centric rotors are better made

Love RockAuto. Keep it up! I'm going to do my fronts soon, was thinking about grabbing those dark rotors, I think they're zinc? I fear it's just a coating and will just wear off and end up all over the side of my white car.

Finally did the rears had to replace the entire caliper as the pin was corroded and broke off in the bracket.. both sides..

[robertsonz31]

Ouch. In my 10+ years of wrenching I have only had one stuck pin. Well, odds are you will never have to do that again! Haha

Yea and i had to stuck pins. Trying to loosen them i heard a snap and tge bolt cracked. Stuck in the bracket. Had to learn how to bleed the brakes and flush them as well..
Won't know if they work until next week because i brought the rims in for refinishing. But im optimistic

If i had known how easy it was i would if put the stainless brake lines in..
