QUOTE(hellsyphon @ Apr 10, 2007 - 12:00 AM) [snapback]545110[/snapback] Anyone know or have experience on how durable powdercoating the calipers would be? calipers get too hot for plain powder coating(it melts) but ceramic coating is an option. Most headers and chromed engine compartments have been ceramic coated. |

His image does work and I'm not putting Brembo on stock brakes.

Cost I thought was pretty inexpensive - like 10-15 max shipped. I've had conversations with 2 different guys about it, possible group buy to save us a little but again, it's only 15 max, so not sure a group buy is worth the coordination effort for a few bucks |

IPB Image I can get a GB going if interested  i never said to put brembo on your crap stock brakes cause i was talking in general and not waste my time with 1 person and the point wasn't brembo....the point was a newer trend coming into the market of "carbon fiber" calipers This post has been edited by playr158: Apr 12, 2007 - 11:41 AM |

You've been on here for years with worthless posts like this. Do you really think anyone cares what your opinion is?

IDK about you but I couldn't care less about carbon fiber so I generally overlook it. -------------------- |

For once I agree.
This thread has gotten so off topic. CJOHNST3 - PM me when you get the info on the stickers. Again I'm down for one or two sets. -------------------- |
