I had my stock 18's and calipers powder coated a couple of weeks ago and I finally have a few pics. I think they turned out great and are definitely an improvement over stock. Now all I need to do is upgrade the exhaust so it sounds as mean as it looks....

Snapbucket :: 2010 Mustang picture by cmccarty - Photobucket Hey guys I just did my stock 18" wheels flat black this weekend until I get the cash to buy a new set of wheels. The wheels turned out pretty good, but now the calipers look pretty rough in the back ground. Im debating on what color...

So I recently put stoptech crossdrilled rotors on my mustang along with some stoptech brake pads. After lubing up all of the slide pins, pushing in all of the pistons, etc. I took it for a test drive. Halfway through the test drive i noticed that the engine sounded like it had stress on it when...

Hi All, I need some advice from brake experts here. I had replaced my pads earlier, but then found a few weeks later that my front drivers side pads are thinner and there's excessive brake dust on that side. So I replaced the pads again and lubricated the slide pins but now that doesn't seem to...

I've got a 98 GT- I would like to upgrade the brake calipers on my car to the two piston type that was put on the 99- and up body style. I've found a 2007 at my local salvage yard- can I use the calipers from that car to mine?

My calipers were really bothering me. They were all dingy and highly visible behind the '00 Cobra R wheels I'm rockin' on the GT. I have plans to upgrade the brake system to Cobra brakes in the future, but I have other upgrades for the car that have higher priorities. But, I still don't want to...

The kit comes with the paint and caliper cleaner for around $18. The caliper cleaner takes off an gunk with out having to wipe. The paint is good, dries fast. About 5-10 mins between coats. I put 4 coats on so i could there would be no brush strokes. The kit is great.
