Thanks for the compliments!
They are r1 Concepts rotors; I got them off EBay
Yea, I'm keeping the stock wheels for the winter.
Yes, I did use the dupicolor brush on kit. All I did was cover the calipers and caliper brackets with brake cleaner, wipe them off, then paint the calipers red and the brackets silver. The front calipers took 3 coats of Red as the calipers have a very smooth finish and the paint wants to leave brush streaks. The back calipers were much easier.

Also, these wheels are offered in 19 x 8.5. I didn't buys them as I was worried I would rub in the front if i hit a decent bump after lowering. As these wheels stand now, they stick out about 1/2 an inch more than the stocks, if you look at the lip of the front fenderwell to the wheel, i do not have much more space to go out. The 19x8.5 wheels would have stuck out another 1/5 of an inch and it may have been too much w/ lowering the car. While the 19's would have looked awesome, I thought I should play it save. In the end, I am really happy w/ these wheels. They fit perfectly and look great.
