They were beat, the paint was trashed and the dust boots shot. Beside that and some scratched paint all looked well. So I snagged them on the cheap and ordered a rebuild kit.

1st thing I did was pull the pistons to inspect for damage and all looked well. I am missing 2 zircon disks and a bunch of the retainser clips which I am looking to get replaced. Comsidering the condition if the calipers visually, the important parts look good. So I started stripping paint and prepared to plastic media blast and prep for pai




nt. After some consideration I decided that PCCB yellow was the way to go. My rear calipers are coming due for pads, rotors and a strip and refinish so I will install those with spacers and 350mm rotors and new pagids. The fronts will get the painted calipers, rotors and pagids. Also I will include unmolested GT2 brake likes seeing I tweaked mine to allow for my stock calipers to be utilized with the GT2 front sprindlea when I did the all cup suspension and RWD conversion a few years back.

So, here are a few pictures of the progress as I go. I will these coming. I have all new seals and dust boots installed alredy. New bleeder screws and dust caps coming. I am currently also awaiting the longer GT2/3 sticker stencil which will be the next step. Enjoy...

 

 

Nice! good to be handy and always on the look out for something special

 

Yeah, wasn't really hard up for big brakes. But these popped up at the right time and were cheap. They are becoming harder to find it seems.

 

great job. that's one thing i do wish i had done is 6 pots. that said, the only thing looks "new" still on my car is my few year old refreshed calipers that guy jared in FLA did. he killed it, and let me swap my old calipers for the ones in the pic.

Vagscum, i admire your being able to refresh your own ( pic wouldn't load ) https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=476132&d=1494468304 and yes, the rest of the lugs were installed lol

 

 

Yellow'd and Porsche'd??

 

One complete. The other has some touch ups and corrections before it will be done. New bleed screws, a replacement zircon and studs for the upright coming.

 

Really came out very very nice!

 

 

The one I had to correct paint on was as simple as a cut and buff. The only thing missing now are rotors, bleeder dust caps and some pads.

 

Nice job!

Is that front bumper for sale?

 

Nice job. good as new. congrats on the DIY!
