finnaly finished my brake overhaul. 4 new FENCO (remanufactured motorcraft) calipers, EBC Ultimax rotors and wagner pads all the way around. took a nice chunk of money though...$800+ also decided to paint my calipers red. the second these remanufactured calipers hit water they start to turn a rust color. picture of the front calipers, i have to paint the rears still but its way too humid to paint right now. also got a question about painting badges. did you guys rough the badges up with some fine grit sand paper before you painted them? i dont think the paint will stick to the surface of the badges very well. just curious. looking to paint them red. thanks for the info and input!
thanks guys! gotta respray the calipers a little. the humidity here has been terrible. i wanted to spray them while i was putting the rotors on and i think it was like 60% humidity. figured i could use a heatgun to help dry them. that worked somewhat lol.
Looks killer How much of a difference do they make? I scuffed my badges up with some 200, then 400grit. Seems to have worked pretty good so far.
thanks man. theyre great. i havent really tried out with hard braking, you gotta take it easy on new rotors for a few hundred miles to break them in. but so far a bigggg improvement and best of all, no nasty scraping or squealing lol. alright ill give it a shot with some sandpaper next weekend. i gotta go get some primer and regular paint. did you put clear coat over it too?
it looks good, ive got stock rims so it doesnt pop out at you but im sure if i had some aftermarkets it would look killer
I was going to paint mine white but you can't see the calipers with the rims I have. Sent from my iThingy using Tapatalk
