Want brakes but having trouble sorting through the BS

you would be much better off having someone (hmm, me maybe?) powdercoat your stock sport brakes. Done in a nice color, they will look as good as any aftermarket kit,

Now who might be able to powdercoat his calipers?

I may be up to that....hmmmm

I truly was just going through the sites looking for a good deal for calipers but having a hard time pulling the trigger with mine feeling ok as is plus I have other things I want to do.

Any pics of calipers you've done? What's the turn around time and can you give me an estimate for going red?

Can you powdercoat the strut brace under the hood. One of the guys on the board wants to do his red and I dont think he's found a supplier just yet.

Thanks man

I just saw your other post under the group buy section. What do you charge bro since the group buy is over? I'm leaning towards Brembo's but your option is much less.

Sorry Mike but last thing. Could you do JUST the rears and have them match the brembo red? Dont forget to let me know about the strut tower brace, if you can do that in red and what it costs. Not for me. THX.

I can still do the 300 price for forum members here. strut brace is 125. I could also just do the rears in a close red. i would have to have the brembos here to get an exact match. I can also do the rears on exchange. Unfortunately, I stripped the threads in a fluid hole on one of my brembos, so I don't have a front exchange set at the moment.
