Default calipers

just had some brake pads installed on the front of my 06. when i got home i noticed the calipers looked like they've been stored in a barn for 20 years. i keep my 06 clean, i mean clean. when i wash my car i take the time to even wipe them when i do my wheels. they're red with the corvette logo on them. the ones on the back had that norm shine to them, the front ones---i had a hard time to even wipe off the dirt and grime. i didin't look at them when i got ready leave the place, plus what was i going to be looking at anyways, they changed the pads! anybody out there able to tell me if some switch happen here.

Hi again Joe. From now on, any and all discussion or questions about your C6 ('06) Corvette need to take place in one of the C6 Forums. In most cases that means C6 General. The Moderator will lock this thread soon so just go to C6 General and ask your question.

Good advice ... This part of the forum is for new member introductions. Best to post your C6 questions in the C6 section.
