I painted part of them last summer and just now finished them up. I think it looks a lot better! :coolsmiley:

.... Single piston calipers scare the pants off me

... okay.... if it stops and rotors aren't warped then they're fine for me.

Looks pretty good i think. I have been wanting to paint mine but i have been holding off on doing anything to the brakes cause i wanna swap to dual piston.

i noticed a big diff in the dual piston swap from single.i dont think its worth going to cobras because its still a dual piston caliper and the rotor diameter is just a little bigger.for the price the gt twin piston upgrade is totally worth it but after that i think the next logical step would be some bears or something

Outstanding, I'm not normally a huge red caliper fan but they certainly fit in well there.

I rock single piston calipers, but unfortunately (Wouldn't use them again) ceramic pads. Those + shitty stock Goodyears = teh suck

Got some black POR-15 brush on paint so I can join the painted caliper club!

lol...yea...I guess I dont push my car on public roads cause I dont feel the need to come up on a light and slam my brakes on so I wouldnt really notice it....

They are better but like I said...its not like OMG wow 70-0 in 12 feet!

Its probably like 60-0 in 130 feet vs stock 60-0 in 140 feet

1. Good job on the paint. Red calipers on a white car are fantastic.

2. Handz wears pants? I figured he was more of a skirt type of guy.
