Dynamic Friction Rear Calipers?
I'm going to purchase calipers on RockAuto and they have calipers from a company named Dynamic Friction. The calipers have the purchased often heart and are decently priced. Does anyone have an opinion about them?

@jerkyboy Most calipers that I have encountered are basically the same. I doubt you can go wrong with the DFC calipers. I see RockAuto has new Raybestos calipers for about half the price of the DFCs and they're zinc coated as well with a lifetime warranty. I've never had issues with Raybestos brake components and the lifetime warranty is nice.

I do recommend if you take a little bit and mask off the piston area and bleed screw, then prime and paint it you’ll be glad you did later. Even if zinc coated, clean them and hit with rustoleum etching primer, then any Rustoleum top enamel (their wheel paint works well on calipers, is cheap, I’ll link it).
I had to take a wheel into Les Schwab today for a warranty on a tire. The manager was impressed with the wheel finish and asked me who did it. I said that I had, and with mainly these two paints (and extensive prep). Cleared on top for the wheel but not necessary on rotors or calipers.
Metallic silver paint (other colors too):
Etching primer is clutch for getting good adhesion and durable results:
Plus painted brake bits look good. This is my Volvo, not the GS.
