Thanks Ken!

I used Mike the Powder Coater. You can find him on here. He has cores that he'll swap out so you won't be down for a long period of time. Of course there is a waiting list for core swaps. I chose to just send mine and wait since I have a daily driver. The stock calipers looked horrible. I love the job he did and he was quick, turned them around in about two days. You can find him here:

I'm just waiting for my new caliper bolts to finish the project.

Thanks everyone! I put everything back together last night now I just need to bleed the brakes. I've never bled brakes before but from all the reading and videos I've seen, it doesn't look too difficult. That being said I am going to wait until my mechanic friend can help me with it.

Hope to have "Nightmare on 5th Street" on the road again next week!

I just finished the same project last week. What a difference it makes. The rotors are zinc plated from Brake Performance.

Powdercoater calipers are the way to go! Here's my set-up. Stillen cross drilled/slotted rotors, Mike the Powdercoated calipers, and Hawk ceramic pads to reduce the dust!

Looks good with the new rotors. I just hit my rotors with a coat of paint to freshen them up.

I noticed you still have the roller skates... My Hawk Performance pads didn't come with the added weights.

I tried bleeding them tonight but I was by myself, so I'm not sure how good of a job I did. I hope to complete them Friday when a mechanic friend of mine is available.

Did either of you have any problems with leaks after you reassembled? My right rear and right front seem to have a very small amount of fluid on them after the sitting for a day or so. I wonder if I should replace the banjo bolt washers.
