Default Painted calipers and new R1 Rotors *pics*

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Had to take the car in for a little body work, so I had him spray the calipers with some high temp paint. Overall satisfied with the paint... and can tell a huge difference with the rotors. (the stock were shot after 65k). After washing there wasn't the dreaded rust there usually was. Let me know what you think. Got these for ~ 180 something shipped. Enjoy.
Btw--they are slotted/cross-drilled and zinc coated.

Default I think....

you made a good decision here. I am not usually one for spraying stock calipers but this came off well and the rest of the car has been brought together with this look.

I am taking the plunge on VOLKS/TOYOS in the spring (a birthday present to myself). I think I am going to go for Stoptechs (up front) if I can swing it.

Looks good. Keep it up.

why not pay a little more and get better rotors like powerslots or powerstops...
