Big brakes part II
Well I finally got the calipers back from the powder coater after a week delay
Look great and are ready for re-assembly and to tear up the roads...just need a motor.
Initial picture of caliper. Nice and shiney
Inside of caliper showing 2 of the 4 pistons
Other side of the caliper
Elongated view from the top
Mounted Driver side, and yes the rotors need cleaning. Been sitting for a while
View looking straight down
Part three will be as soon as I do get the black rims in and show the brakes actually put on for good. As it stands I'm waiting on the seal kit, and that is it.

Re: Big brakes part II (Jeffvette)
if you want to make the rotors more photogenic before you drive it use 100-150grit sandpaper and go over the whole disc, it will take all that surface rust off.

Did you have to completely disassemble the calipers to have them powder coated? :)

This is the Porsche/Brembo 4 piston kit. Same caliper that is on the Porsche TT from 96-97
I should have the rims early next week, hopefully :D
