[silver_car]

my brembo calipers come in red color form but they look worn out....

they seem to be peeling off skin!!!

any ideas is this possible?

plus i kinda like the subaru wrx sti brembos calipers which are gold in color. do they actually fit the evo?

cheers to all mitsu guys

Front calipers?

 

[silver_car]

yup front calipers. u think can fit?

ppl say that the brembos for the 2003/2004? WRX STi brembos are the same as the evos 7 to 9.

any ideas?

How much does it coz?
And how long can the paint last.
From what i know the ori calipers after paint have to anodize coz of the heat.

 

[bvalve]

not sure abt it,let me ask my friend 1st,give me couple of days ok?

 

[silver_car]

thanks bvalve.

actually , i kinda like the gold color of teh sti brembo calipers. maybe i can just take my red brembos n just spray it gold...dun care about the words lah.

but like lanevo6 said, they will probaably come off again due to the heat. hai...

what to do? any ideas?

 

[silver_car]

btw, anyone knows that the subaru gold calipers anodized as well?

curious

Mayb he dont like red coz got some ah beng using the cover brembo red ....he heeee.

As from what i understand our engine temp are at approx 90 -120 C, but during hard breaking our break pad temp can reach 300-350 C, correct me if i m wrong. thats y i m using Endless pad SSS can tahan up to 500 C.

silver_car,
Just ask my friend,he told me he spray LICKER with his ownself.the caliper look like the paint worn out actually is not,just only the heat is too hot and the LICKER(surface of the caliper) worn out.respray back and it look like new ones.

but as u said u like to spray it to gold then there is another story,this 1 u really want to send yur caliper to those shop who do spraying.....

 

[silver_car]

yup,

now am spraying the red calipers to gold with red brembo wordings. screw the licker layer......

hope it comes out good! wish me luck guys!
