actually do a nice scrubbing of the rotor center with steel wool, clean with brake cleaner...then apply a high temp paint...seals them really nicely...just be carefull that you do not get paint on the rotor surface where the pad applies...it will destroy the pad...no good

Bought silver break caliper paint and break parts cleaner fluid. Do I have to take the break pads off? Never done that! Can I use a wire brush on the drill instead of steel wool? If paint gets under the mask on the break surface can I clean it off? Guess I should be going to the tech section for these questions. If someone wants to bother maybe a PM would be in order.

Thanks

Yes it is lowered, I have full Mazdaspeed suspension as well as a flywheel.

Been looking alot at rims, I was thinking of getting ADR Cyphers in Gunmetal. But now I'm thinking of getting an exhaust or getting drilled/slotted rotors.

Rx hawk, that looks great and without the aftermarket wheels. I must say that if I'd known about the light grey totone seat option ,I would never jumped on the rednblack seat combination......nice photos.
