Just spent 4 hours today for another brake job on my GS. New EBC pads, new rotors, new paint job and stickers on claipers. I have done this brake job about every 15k miles. I'm professional on GS brakes now.

 

Good job ! Looks great !

 

do u have to strip the paint first before paint the calipers? what kind of rotors are those i would like to pick up a set.

 

Yes, I used power sander to strip down to metal before painting.It's from iRotors.com. $200 shipped so I don't even bother to re-surface the old rotors, just get another new set:

 

i just did my first supra tt conversion brake caliper paintjob and it wasn't as bad as i thought it would be...next time around i will sand them down all the way and use smaller stickers... what type of paint did you use??

 

I used Dupli-color high temp. engine inamel black + clear coat.

 

pretty cool where can I get the smaller stickers and do they come off when the calibers heat up ?

 

i used the same paint but it was flat black...but yours looks so much more black than mine.

 

I would like to learn how to do my brakes too. Do you have some kind of tuturoial for me and fyi: I love the rotors and calibers.. way cool. where did u get the lexus calibers

are you serious you could easily turn rotors maybe twice before getting rid of them, unless you really warp those rotors.

EDIT: by the way could i use paint stripper compound and just use a pressure washer, i dont think i could trust myself with sanding it down.

 

Just use some sand paper to rough the surface so the paint will stick. You will not get the shinning smooth finish like mine. I sanded down about 1/8" to get a perfect mirror surface to start with.

 

yummy! so the supra tt rear caliper fit on the sc no problem?

 

JacobT,
Looking good man. I feel so lame. I did my brakes weeks ago and I still don't have any pics!
D@mn not having a digital camera! I spent the camera money on mods!

 

so you can use the complete tt kit on the front and rear of the gs ????
