nope, the powdercoat won't hold up to track use, especially on our cars. Z1 does have an aftermarket rebuild kit with better dust boots, but thats about it.

I run stoptech trophy brakes, which are hard anodized and they still look new 3 years later.

That's an option then no? Find someone that anodizes? Might not be a horrible setup for 20 min sprints, better boots plus anodized.

A fancy powdercoat wont fix it.

Of course i'd love to have stoptech Trophy's... but the fronts were what?... $3k ?

Also, the rear calipers are still beautiful, even w salt and heat. <scratches head>
