Wow. Looks like you spent a lot of time on the calipers. What did you do and how to make them look so good.

How is their performance?

I am looking at the kit on amazon and wondering if these are worth the price. Less than 350 for front and rear discs and pads. It is kit K1906.

Rock Auto seems less expensive... might consider looking.

Yes I ordered from rock auto and had to 400. But econo would have cost me close to that at parts source. Well worth it

Not trying to change the subject but Amazon Prime is so worth it.

The calipers powder coated or just sprayed with high temp paint? Either way, they really look fantastic!
