Default Powder coated big brake system

I purchased this DILUSI Stage III brake system years ago and had it on the car. the kit consists of Wilwood 6 piston fronts and 4 piston rear calipers and 13.6" front and rear two piece rotors. After many bouts with brake cleaner (the kind that cleans off the brake dust) the surface of the brake calipers and hats was looking bad. So thanks to Morzoff I now have bright and shiney powdercoated parts to re-install on my car. I will post new pics once the brake system is back on the car.

From what I understand, the business is shut down for now. If I were to purchase big brakes again, I would go with the 4 piston brembo's front and rear.

FYI ...Eagle one all finsih wheel cleaner works great to remove brake dust without hurting the powder coating or the zinc washed finish. Orange bottle at your local Autozone. It will also clean off the coating on a new set of rotors. Just spray and scrub with a cut down paing brush and hose off.
