Thanks,....17" Fast Wheels. I've been a Brembo Brake user for over 17 years and the Goldline of Brembo's are touted as the best there is. There must be a reason that they're the number one choice for most exotic/performance (Euro) cars as OEM equipment. Wish I could afford the real thing for the MX.....LOL.

I painted the upper and lower part of my rear calipers, but you didn't. Is that for a reason, or did you just forgot?

I knew the keen eye would pick up on the rear calipers. I didn't get the complete rear calipers for the rebuild so i had to make do with the main half on the rear calipers. It would have been nice to have gotten the complete caliper. Good pick-up though, Macen .... LOL.

how come your rear pads grab only smart portion of the rotor?

solo_ryder · Post by **solo_ryder** » December 25th, 2006, 4:57 pm

My car does that to, the rear does not fully grab probably because the caliper is only one piston and the caliper itself is not that great, its not even a full sized one, only puts pressure onto the top until the pads are worn in a abite more.

Hey John, how are those holding up now? Any rust on them rotors?
