I like them. I always wondered what my calipers would look like painted black on a black car. I got my rotors and painted mine red. Looks clean.

They look great!! If you don't mind I ask, what is the cost for the rotors? Did you get new pads too? Thanks.

Yea, pads and rotors cost me $240 shipped from Trinity. It was the e-Line R1-Concepts and posi-quiet pads. Love em so far. Stupid good pricing, too.

Install was $30 at a local shop so the whole thing for front brakes was under $300. You can't beat that with a stick.

+1, I'd also go for Brembo if I ever get around to changing brakes.
A decent Brembo set costs over 2k tho

Yeah I was looking at the cheapest sets and that's a Euro price, which goes closer to 3k in USD ofc.

Thanks for sharing. Also, did you have to do anything with the brake sensor? Reuse the existing one?
