Nice! I will have to do that myself one of these days.
You could consider MGP Caliper Covers, too. Manufacturer's site: http://www.calipercovers.com/ Several of our sponsors carry them. |

Thanks! Just gotta get up the motivation again to try and tackel the install to finish it all up once and for all.

That sucks, I ordered mine from Jim through Ohio Speed and had no problems. If it makes you feel any better I had to wait about 2 months to get my throttle body back. |

I hope they don't send mine wrong ,i'm on the other side of the planet and sending them back for replacement will cost me a fortune and 3 months maybe.

They look Great. Almost wish i painted my Hats with some Black paint. The reason why i didn't order the R1 rotors that have the black Electro plating was because they cost about 130 more. They are made from a different compound that is meant to deliver slightly better braking but since I'm not ever tracking the car i couldn't ration the other 130.
But for a solution to get the rears to rotate freely you could leave the Transmission in neutral and use the E-brake to hold the car while your lifting and release it once its up in the air and just be sure to engage it back when you lower it. Since i have a manual i was able to just put it in neutral right once it was in the air. |

I had no problems. The tool that I have to push back the pistons inside the calipers wasn't long enough so I got another socket stuck it inside the chamber and used it as an extension to push it back. For me the fronts where more difficult than the rears. But all four corners came right off for me. Granted I have very little miles but they all just slipped right off. Let me know if you need any other tips for the install. I'm glad to help out

Update: So over the winter after countless tries at painting my front bowtie it came out the way I wanted and I got it installed today. That front bowtie really is a pain to take off wtf...Getting close to "de-chroming" the outside of my car lol (just gotta plasti-dip the side letters, replace the rear bowtie and pain the RS badges, and swap to the black gorilla acorn locks) I also switched out my Rx breather for one I bought that came with a black filter though it would hide any oil better. Bowtie Before: Bowtie After: Black Rx Breather Filter: (sorry the engine bay is a lil dirty) Also stopped by a vinyl place today and got a quote to install the NS-1 Stripes so next Wednesday I am getting them installed!!!!!! Can't wait! |

Yea I thought about that and was talking to the people who are gonna do the stripe install. They think it should be fine but it def is something I am worried about. Guess I'll find out when they get installed .
