Default Painted Calipers done

<center><img src="http://www.coolinfo.com/car/brake/brake1.jpg"></center><p>Spent all day cleaning and painted my front calipers...still need to do the rears.

I used VHT red brake caliper paint. Took a couple cans of brake cleaner though. I really need to buy new pads that kicks up less dust. Anyone have any suggestions?

Default How do you like the Pirellis?

Do they wear fast? How's the handling and noise?

Default They look good, and I bought Porterfield "racing"

pads for mine. So far I've got the front on, and they do make a difference in dust. My rear pads (still stock) kick out more dust now than the fronts.

Default Calipers and wheels look great! Mintex Red Box are great and put off MUCH less dust.
