I will eventually go full ricer and paint my rear calipers as well. Do you like the Duplicolor paint you used?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.

That is a solid deal. Though I don't see the advantage of drilled and slotted rotors on a truck.
Fills that 17" wheel up real nice.
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.
First time using it . Seems to hold up pretty good. Come winter we will see how it really holds up. My ocd would let me just paint my fronts so I had to do the rears at the same time lol. I do wash my truck regularly at least once a week which helps with anything painted.
Where did you get your calipers powder coated?
Mine were also made by Powerstop and sold by ebay seller Brakemotive. Not very happy with the seller and not recomending them. Go to powerstop directly if u can.
