Mine have a healthy dose of patina. They are staying that way too.

I had that once too but the doctor gave me some cream and it went away.

I went with a $200 kit myself. Installing it now. After seeing all the $500-$800 kits, I figured I'd give the generics a shot and see how they do. Have only done the backs so far and am still working on replacing all the control arms so haven't had them out yet. The quality looks good though and the car won't see a single lap at a track so why not...

Also, I strongly recommend doing your own brakes. It's easy, enjoyable, and a great way to get your hands in your car even if you've never once held a wrench. Use the $400-$600 you save by doing it yourself to treat your girl to a mini stay-cation out in town.
