brake caliper color

RedTwilight · Apr 8, 2016

Hydro dip them carbon fiber!

But I think the copper would look great for both the calipers and wheel centers. Just don't go changing the color every 2 weeks like Toby!:thumbsup:

Hey now no picking on tommy and his color ocd. I could see myself resembling that one day....

I was going to go with a darker more muted copper color but now after upgrading the brakes suddenly I like the brighter copper colors more. For the moment I think the hyper silver will go really well with the CF accents and the polished calipers and lips will be nice. Now unfortunately I have not seen a hydrodipped CF pattern that I liked after playing with the real stuff. Speaking of I hope to get back into the diffuser shortly this last hospital stay/med change really threw me for a loop and its taken for ever to get back on my feet.

I was cleaning the garage and could not help but dream a little and wonder what it would look like.

well down right f'n sexy if ya ask me. The hyper silver is brighter in the picture in person its more of a graphite color or a little darker

Mmm Baer brakes...

I'd send it back and get new.

ttocs · Apr 9, 2016

it was new. Well kinda.... it looks like someone got the kit and didn't realize their wheels would not work, and tried to muscle the wheel on. How someone installs a set like this and is not watching the clearance between the caliper and the wheel is beyond me but..... Then it looks like they just threw the big parts back in the box and sent it back. Carid probably checked them for damage and they went into the clearance pile before they checked all the little parts. I am sure no one thought it was 8-900 worth of parts in that little accesory box I know I was surprised....

That's a bummer.

you going to file a complaint with ebay and send em back?

ttocs · Apr 10, 2016

at the moment I am just dealing with them. As far as I am concerned the add was not as it represented the product. They have other adds for the same product with the only difference being that they have more detailed pics of the damaged calipers on this one but it also still had baers pic of a complete kit just like their other adds. Its all worded the same way so unless all their kits are missing the $900 worth of extras needed to mount it then idunno. I hope that they realize they will either have to mark this kit down far enough that someone can get the parts and repair the damage, or buy the parts which I am sure is cheaper for them. With out it this is just two calipers and two rotors that can't be mounted.

ah damn. no baer for me... They responded that I need to return the set and they will credit my account.

Why not just get the bracket and do the gt500 brembos..

the brembos just seem like a mullet of the braking world with the big beautiful brembo up front and then out back....... Sure its better then the cobra and the cobra R's rocked them but if I am going to upgrade my brakes, I am going to upgrade my brakes. That is the same reason I didn't go wilwood as I am not going to "upgrade" to a single piston caliper out back and that is all they offer for the rear.

Wilwood has a. Dual piston for the irs.. Not sure for the solid axle

yea that is what I am talking about if I wanted a single piston caliper, I don't need to pay for a premium brand. while I have generally been more show then go I would love to hit a track and have some fun.

IRS offers more brake options?

I can't say how disappointed this entire transaction was with [MENTION=19977]carid[/MENTION]. Trying to save a few bucks on what I thought was a good deal that turned out not to be. All they said was send it back and they will send me the forms. I dried to get them to reconsider and get the parts at their cost and mail them but they just want the kid back. Not sure why they will either end eating it big time to mark it down enought o justify damaged/missing parts or they will buy the parts and try again.

So am I just being a dick? They had a BS add that ended up being completely wrong and was a horrible deal. Sure its great they will take it back as that seems like the very least they should do but that mean me repacking and labeling and then finding the closest ups spot is 20 mins away. Oh and on teh RA papaerwork they wanted me to sign a contract saying that everything was in the box and undamaged. No, sorry I marked that out and wrote in that everything in the box as I recieved it including missing and brr, but after trying up $1k for almost 2 weeks I would have to think a 10-20% off coupon be one way I could consider them again.
