I cant see anywhere if the discs are zink coated.
If they're not, is it then just a matter of sending them to a specialist? I'm going to get my calipers painted red as well.

Or is that just plain stupid and expensive?

I've used Textar pads and they're good pads. You won't be disappointed in them for public road use, even hard driving. Now for track use, they may fade a bit.

The zinc coating is a nice thing to have to prevent hat rust on the discs, but not required by any means. Taking some high temp silver spray paint bought from the local auto parts shop and spraying the hats (tape off the rest of the disc) is a simple thing to do.

One more thing: be sure to buy some aftermarket stainless steel brake lines while you're doing all this brake work. They made my brake pedal far more responsive and stiff and it was very noticeable. It was the single best thing I have done to my braking system to upgrade it.

Oh yeah, I painted my rotors red and that's cool looking too!

Thanks RandallNeighbour

I'm going for the Teztar then. I'v been wondering about what the stainless steel brake lines does, I thought it was just for show. But thanks for sharing the info.
While I'm at it, I'm gonna buy those as well.

Didn't you mean you painted your calipers red?

I have everything for that, including the Porsche decals. So I'm ready to go

[RandallNeighbour]

Yes, I meant calipers, not rotors!

And if you want to do it and have the time, buying high-temp clear coat to shoot on top of the finished caliper after the porsche stickers have been put on makes the whole package last a lot longer.

I didn't do this and mine have been just fine though... right up until I had to rebuild one of my calipers and the clamps I used to press in the cylinders tore up the lettering on one of the calipers

I have some clear coat also. But I'm thinking of sending them to a pro.
It's not before summertime, before I'm going to do it.
I'm in the danish navy, so currently I'm on Greenland

The stainless steel brake lines, is it 4 lines total for the whole car?

[RandallNeighbour]

Yes, one brake line per wheel, unless you have the customized six wheel boxster and then you'll need two extra ones

Thats a to big mod for me to do Next year maybe hehe.
