These look great!

If you don't mind me asking, who did you use for powdercoating? Been looking for someone semi-local. Thanks!

I used Lake Area Maintenance & Powdercoating here in Lake Charles. The guy that does all the powdercoating is a car enthusiast and really fair with the prices. I felt like he covered my calipers VERY WELL in powdercoat compared to alot I've seen. Here is how much coverage he put on mine. These pics show that I've already put the pistons and seals back in. They were removed of course

Nice work!! Rock out!!

THIS is the trick to getting the seal on very easily. Put it on the bottom of the piston first before installing. Put the piston in the caliper and work the rubber seal around the lip to seal it then squeeze the piston into the bore. EASY!

Suck it homo's!!!!!!

Very nice. I've always liked the white lettering on red calipers. But that looks very good as well.

Thank Sven

not over bearing, but just enough to see the calipers.

Awesome job man, I plan to do red with silver brembo stickers. We will see how it turns out.

Holidays are killing my bank account, so it will probably be February before I buy a spare set of calipers to have mine done.

Where would one obtain JUST the calipers? Pulloffs on FleaBay?

 

[quiksilver15]

Tasca or Levittown, they aren't that expensive if memory serves me correctly. $94 a caliper for non-brembo GT front calipers.

 

[KatoS197]

Oh ok, cool. Thanks!

Don't bother. These are too powerful for s197's. #8's will surely blow!

Ha! And how would YOU know how powerful they are? Doesn't the car have to be MOVING in order to use the brakes?!

 

[UltraKla$$ic]

Im glad this project is done. Putting the E-brake spring back on is NUTS!!!!!!

I love the way it came out doe!!!

 

[JUSTA3V]

Nicely done.

Bahahaha! Notice the tire tread imprint in the concrete! It doesn't go forward or back. I think it is actually sunk into the concrete.
