Just picked up my calipers as they have been sitting at my aunts for the last few wks and hadn't had a chance to look at them been sorting other problems with the car.

Really pleased they look good just need a bit of paint now  :smiley:

Cheers I wish id taken pictures of them before.

Discs came with them when I bought them, they have still got a lot of life in them but not sure what make they are but will use them.

Need new pads tho, prob just going to get the pagid ones from eurocarparts.

Will be a good setup tho brembos with ferodo on the front and these 256mm and vrs calipers on the back, ate superblue and braided lines all round.

Just need to paint them to match the brembos on the front

Ordered a red brembo paint kit for my rear calipers so they match the front and it came and have been painting them up tonight.

Calipers after bigg red recondition



The paint kit



Came with everything needed paint, hardener, paint brush, brake cleaner, gloves, mixing cup, the works.

First coat



waited 40 mins as per instructions and added the second coat.



Going to let it dry tonight and will add another tomorrow. Looks like a good match  :smiley:
