    A Few Upgrades

    Last year it was Springs, Shocks, Swaybars and Exhaust
    This year it's New Rotors, Pads and repaint Calipers.

    The front pads had been replaced a few yrs ago but the rears were original and surprisingly still had meat on them.
    Anyway heres a pile of the old 132K mile rotors.



    And now the new setup ATE Premium One Rotors and Hawk HPS pads
    Caliper Paint by Duplicolor

          Looks awesome Craig!!! Did you clear the calipers after you painted them? I really wish that I would have cleared mine, cause the paint that I used isn't holding up very well and every time I bump them, they chip. A redo is on my to do list this year.

              Looks great! When I get my car back from having the rearend and driveshaft installed, I'll probably be doing that as well. Most likely will be going with silver for mine, however.

                I used the Duplicolor brush on kit, it has Ceramic in it and should harden up nicely The previous paint was sprayed on about 5 years ago.

                Hopefully the new Hawk pads won't leave as much dust as the last set.

                      Looks great, I think a different color might of fit in better, but regardless still looks good.
