Well after i highly polished them, i would high gloss clear powdercoat them It might match my rims pretty well, with some kind of black lettering on them.

Does anyone know what 4 piston caliper brakes will fit on the SC's?.. I tried the Supra calipers but they were to bulky and did not work with my rim offset. I am looking for a lower profile 4 piston caliper setup? Anyone?

Get new wheels....No 4 pot brake will fit on there...

LS4 brakes are very diffcult to polish...There are too many groves and indentations to work with...If you do try it, best of luck to you....

VJ:

Check my reply on my post for caliper color... I tried to powdercoat them but I was told that to do so would mean taking the whole LS caliper apart from head to toe....the guy is to afraid of melting any parts during the baking of the color, especially the rubber seals... He said that to he could possibly put it back togethor but the seals are virtually impossible to put back in without some sort of grease and special tools... might even scratch or dent the inside of the bore or damage it otherwise...unless you just have money to waste the prob of success seemed to be very low to me...best bet is to just use caliper paint.. duplicolor brand works good and I will post pics after I have finished on my thread
