    Boo yeah, so it wasnt too much trouble brushing it on while it was still attached to the lines? Id like to do it that to avoid getting involved with that kind of stuff still unknown territory to me. And how did you get your disc so clean is it just machined or something?

    @Silver sorry for mucking up your thread man, I hope ya dont mind too much if need be I can move this over to a PM and keep outta your thread.

    It was easier to paint the brackets off the car but not too bad to do the calipers in the wheel well. Just wire wheel and or sand off any rust, spray with brake cleaner and paint. Some guys tape and mask off everything they dont want to be painted and use brake caliper spray paint instead. The reason the rotors are so clean is that they are new They are coated with silver zinc to help aviod rust The car needed rotors anyways because the old ones were real rusty, waved, grooved and glazed. I had to take off the calipers anyway so it was a good time to clean and paint. I use ceramic pads to avoid brake dust on the wheels.

    Just wanted to say, I'll ALSO be getting those rims HOPEFULLY once the car gets fixed. They won't be put on till spring though.

    That may be the case, but these are so much sexier than bullits.

    Ride quality is the same, depending on the tires im sure it can go either way but mine ride just the same. I did however notice a decrease in my MPGs
