I just dropped off my car to Stoptech Brakes for an R&D of the front and the rear brakes, as some of u know that I had the fronts done about 4 months ago, so they gonna redo the fronts and new kit for the rear, I will keep u guys posted , I should have it by friday.
can't wait to see this... need a review on how different the feel is.
Calipers are different on the F-sport front to the premium/luxury/hybrid GS. Rears seem to be the same. I've been tempted to either paint the front on the car or go with a BBK but only a full 4 piece kit.
Ok cool, I wasn't too sure about the caliper. Still, it's pretty big for a 4 piston. I think someone should try powdercoating the stock calipers, I think they would be very surprised.
was thinking about poowdercoating it blue and put a logo on it, since the stock f sport caliper seems big already.

You can do that , there are some guys who have done it on the forum look in to it, I would paint it , it would last longer instead of powder coating it, because if u gonna powder coat it , u have to take the caliper put and send it out and make sure they don;t mess up the seal on the pistons, or u can get the paint urself which they sell online and cover everything and paint it nicely, or have some body do it for u, just an advice .
I just got the car back yesterday, the brakes looks great , as I brought the car in so I can clean it so I can take a pic so I can post it, this customer of mine pulls in with the Army edition hummer, and he wants to back out, he takes out my taillight with his grill, ouch that made my day from happy to one pissed off guy.

Painting is not good. It wont last longer then powder coating. I learned the hard way when i painted my supra brakes for my SC. Once you bleed the brakes and have brake fluid dripping it will eat the paint. The best is powder coating. It will hold much longer to spills and brake dust.

"WOW" i know you were in a homicidal state... i would have been. it's not a lucky situation but luckily it was just the tail light. did you take pics? post one if you can. did he get any other part of the car in or around the headlight area. i'm pissed for you. what's the damage for a new tail light? i need a before and after pic. how are the brakes looking?
