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?

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?
