Wow, 9 pages of goodness for this bolt on OEM factory big brake upgrade. All, or almost all of it's costs are offset as replacement parts for maint. Larger discs, larger pads equals more swept braking area.

The swap doesn't affect ABS or Stabilitrack. Since preloved calipers might be used, it gives the once in a lifetime opportunity to have the calipers stripped down, cleaned, powder coated and then powder coated with clear. Once the PC is on the calipers and carriers, they can be rebuilt and wont have to be touched for over a decade. The clear powder coat protects the 1st layer of PC so well that they'll look like wet paint forever. All the road shluck will wash off with soap and come back to looking 100% new.

This is a set of late model aluminum rear calipers/carriers I used to replace the old cast iron units on one of the VW we own. They came off an Audi TT 16 years older than our 90 VW Corrado g60 and simply bolt on to the original VW caliper brackets. The powder coat was properly applied and made the surface go from a porous rough cast, to smooth as butter. They've been wax on, wax off for the last five years.

Ordered REd powdercoated front calipers, Ceramic pads and drilled/slotted Rotors from Brakemotive. Just arrived today.

Drilled & slotted rotors = RACETRUCK

My calipers are blue , so I’m not a race truck ?

Btw I never posted that I finished mod. Easy as it sounds. Bought used parts. Painted calipers with high heat paint while they were off. Worth it.

$288.46 seemed like a good deal for '09 calipers, ceramic pads, and drilled/slotted rotors. After running them in my GMC Sierra and Camaro I can say they work great and brake fade is no longer an issue. And yes, Red calipers will look nice behind the black wheels.

Rear pads didn't arrive with the rest of the order, I emailed them and left bad feedback before I realized I couldn't later edit it. Oh well. Seems to me I was shorted on pads for the Camaro as well.

To save you some trouble when you get your powdercoated calipers check that the powdercoat isn`t on the brake line mounting surface because it will cause it to leak. I didn`t think it would make a difference but both of mine leaked so i just used a razor blade to scrape it off.

Luckily the calipers werent powdercoated at the fitting.

Installed the brakes in the rain and didn't get any pics. I will bed them in after work, luckily its a short drive to work with few stops. Sadly After 32 Hours I got no response from Brakemotive regarding the missing front pads and bought O'reillys BrakeBest Select Ceramic pads for too much money. Left bad feedback and wont shop with them anymore. I can pay a little more to get the parts straight from Power Stop.

Maiden voyage will be in 30 min to work, wish me luck.
