What if you do like 37% of the work in the beginning... then all you have left is 63%.... LOL.. sorry had to throw some humor in there but I like the pads they're nice....

If they are mounted with standoffs for cooling (still not completely clear on this) how do they impact the clearance with the wheel.

Obviously they fit behind OEM wheels, but aftermarket.......?

No problem! We're glad you like them. They are flying off the shelf!

Considering the price, one could buy a few sets in different colors and change them to a different color whenever you decide.

Along with HOLES in their rotors or PAINTING their calipers.

Nice,

I've got some RPI products and they do GOOD work, especially their paint matching

These look nice, I'm all in for brake dust reduction... but how much, are we talking a little or a lot noticeably in reduction?

Thanks RPI,
M.

I made someone spit iced tea all over their monitor the other night.

I agree, they have their place but I like the word Corvette printed on the caliper. Caliper paint $20.
