Default Show off you Calipers!!

I was walking up to my car and the Caliper was just right for a nice picture. I cant believe the wheels look so clean.It has been raining and the roads are still a little wet.

Thanks Mike, I'm lucky to have them. Mine are nothing compared to some of the Wilwoods and C5 calipers in here. I just happened to get a great deal on these otherwise I would also be sporting stock calipers as well.

Those are nice!
I love the look of those Wilwoods. GKK I was surprised to find out the GS calipers and Baer share the same pistons when I ordered a rebuild kit.

Did a "refresh" of my '91 including new calipers, rotors and wheels/tires. These are re-painted '96 Grand Sport calipers.





Cheers

Nice toys. I like the look of the black wheels with the pin stripe.

OK. I am inspired to add this to my project list. I cleaned off the old 86 calipers and repainted them silver, but they just dont pop like some of yours do.
