It would be easier and better to chrome the brackets but polish and clear the calipers. chroming the calipers presents other problems due to the process. Also, the chrome could "rainbow" if subjected to high heat (like headers do).. Oh, and chrome rusts (the polished option wouldnt)

Hope that helps some..

That is why I asked. I wasn't sure if I would have discoloration problems or not. I am just not to crazy about having polished callipers and ugly stock brackets. I have almost decided to go with a whole new setup. Maybe a baer brakes kit. Thanks for the help.
