Default Brake Caliper Pics - Pics of the Powder Pro's Work

I was just doing a little PM on my car tonight and I realized that I hadn't posted up any pics of my brake calipers. These are stock calipers that were coated by SilverGhost, who's an admin on here and also the Powder Pro. Keep in mind I didn't clean the calipers since I put them on this last winter. They've seen two full days at the Evo School and about 60 runs on the autocross course. They have been exposed to the high heat of repeated hard braking and the aggressive brake dust from Hawk Pads. With a little bit of wheel cleaner and a shop rag they cleaned up to be as good as new!

The first two are "As Is" with no cleaning. The third pic is after cleaning. Let me just say, even if your not into show and shine, and I'm not, having the calipers powder coated sure makes clean up sooooo much easier!

Yep, 315's on all 4 corners. The fronts fit better than the rears.
