It'll be rubbed off so yes I will take it slow when I first drive it after they're on the car.

Got the calipers. Yes I know I need new bleeder valves.

Previous pic was crap. Planning to go to a few track days next year to use up my brakes before the swap.

Red? Why red? Black would have looked so much nicer.

Nice calendar BTW.

So today I finally (finally) put the seals and dust boots in the calipers. Will let a shop install the front pair first to see how it works out.



Sorry, fingers were dirty so I just quickly snapped these with my crappy camera phone.

You may want to search for my post regarding rotor weight. I don't remember exactly, but I seem to think the two-piece rotors save about six pounds per corner.
