Yeah, we went ahead and reordered all 4 calipers since we'll get them pretty much free if we give the cores back. We got the OEM fit Brembo rotors from tirerack.com and Hawk HP+ pads. We obviously painted the calipers before putting them back on with stainless lines. We also installed our short shifter from Pettit which is amazing, but pictures really don't do much for that.

First question: We're friends with the shop. Second question: After we got the calipers in (took about 3 days after ordering) we made sure every part we had to reuse was cleaned off with a wire brush, painted them. Next day (today) we got it mounted back onto the hub without the pads in place. Proceeded to do the shop manual procedure for those then changed out the lines. Took us about an hour or two of actual work to get one done.

They are like 53 bucks each for the fronts if you give your old ones back, and like 75 dollars for the rears each if you give the cores back. www.partsamerica.com

Are those rotors cadmium or zinc plated?
