Brake Rebuild before & after

Took the time to completly disassemble my brakes and rebuild them this winter. Two pistons in the rear were sticking and they cosmetically looked like hell. I don't dare total how much this cost me but I replaced every nut, bolt, bleeder valve and piece of hardware related to the brakes. Right down to inner seals and dust boots. I did PBR Axis ULT pads, Zimmerman rotors and had the calipers sent out to a local powder coater. I'm not super mechanicially inclined but the whole deal wasn't that bad. The hardest part was getting the pistons back in and with some trial and error I've got that down to a science now. Figured I'd share my results. Special thanks to Paul at Performance Product Painting in Auburn, Maine. He did a great job and his price was very reasonable. Funny thing is I'll never get to see just how good the results are. I just bought a 550 Spyder Anniversary car so the 2003 2.7 has to go. Anyone want a beautiful 03' with around $1,500 in new brake parts?
