Lightbulb just a few minor mods! pics! tons!

well if anyone was following from my brake thread before in the wheels section, ive had some brake work done.

-copper painted brake calipers (350z copper to be exact)
-flat black rear painted rotor cover things
- rx7store rotors

im about to paint the rotor a little more black where the rust would continue to show.

what you think?
























i only cleaned it really fast so no zaino or ice put on it. what you think?

Do you have slotted rotors in the rear only? It's hard to see, but the fronts don't look slotted. Calipers look good!

Very nice car. This is one of those colors that looks 1000 times better when you see it in person than in a photo. It really fits the car.

Exclamation

I’ve changed my rear pads a few times and it seems to me that your rear shim should be the one that goes on the inside of the rotor not the outside. The inside shim just covers the center of the pad, while the outside shim covers most of the pad. Check the this site out http://www.myrotarycar.com/portal/fo...3le/index.html Got to Brakes, Conventional brake system, Disc pad rear replacement. Look at the photo, notice the difference in shim shape? May want to check those out just in case.
