Default Red Brembos + ADV1

I got my ADV1's refinished a while back, going from the silver/polished-lip look to a gunmetal/titanium finish instead. And while I prefer the darker wheel color, something was missing since everything was blending in a little too much. So since I needed to replace my rotors anyway, I figured it was the right time to change up the color of the caliper to make them pop a little more.

Work that was done over last few days...
  • Ordered new OEM Brembo rotors. Powder coated the new rotor hats and outer rings black to prevent rusting
  • Painted the calipers red (used Porsche Guards Red) and decided on the Brembo decals over the Lexus
  • Installed new Michelin Pilor Super Sports to replace the Nitto Invo's (I absolutely hate the Invo's...nice looking tread, garbage when it come to grip, especially wet)
  • Scrubbed the ADV1's while they were off the car. Barrels are brushed so it made it easier. Nice coat of wax to seal things up.
Brake install was done by the guys at my dad's shop in Coral Springs: MR Auto Clinic
Paint work on calipers was done at the only place I trust with my cars for paint: Sunshine Collision in Boca.
Tires were mounted by the guys at WheelsBoutique. I drive an hour down from Boca and won't let anyone else touch the wheels.

Happy with the outcome. I spend many nights on this forum looking at various pictures, trying to visualize my ideal combination of mods that people have done. A few minor things left, but its getting there...

Thanks for all the help Isfast. This wouldn't have been possible without our musical calipers.

Project Mu pads. Low dust and pretty good bite for a street pad.

Thanks guys.

Thanks. These are the only ones I took yesterday when the car came out of the shop.






Here is a side shot I took a few weeks back, before the calipers were painted.
