Anyone know if the shims are required to put the Brembo's on an 08 Sport.
I saw a post where they were not needed but the spacing is minimal and may have appeared to be ok with worn pads.

 

Yes, highly recommend them. Would not run it without them. Contact Mr Powell. I just bought two off of him.

 

Thanks... I have the seals, bleeders and 8 new pistons coming.
What's Powell charge for a pair?

 

Are you going for the custom banano calipers?

 

 

Red hot pepper

 

Nice! Gonna look good

They came out great. What did you use to clean them up - brake cleaner? or something else? I am assuming you sprayed them with a few coats - will the over-spray on the pistons effect them. Is the white brembo lettering a sticker?

 

Those are powder coated not rattle canned.

 

Damn man, that came out nice!

 

Thanks...

The housings are bead blasted in my Glass Bead Cabinet first then steam cleaned. These are powder coated with everything removed and silicone plugged. Used the old piston seals and wrapped them with PC High Temp Tape.




This pic was taken right at flow out before setting the 10 min. timer.




The Brembo are suppose to be High Temp Stickers.

 

Thanks... Here are some better daylight pics.

Cell phone light works great during powder coating to look for any missed spots. These are not missing coverage anywhere.

 

They do look great.

 

Wow that looks great man! I wanna get mine coated some day

 

Thanks... Same Red I have used under the hood. It always looks like it is ready to drip off. Received some parts yesterday but still need a few more before fully assembling.

 

Number 2 out of the oven.

 

good job, love that you took time and did them the proper way

 

Thanks...

$150.20 for 2 complete rebuilds. 8 new pistons, 8 seal sets, 4 bleeders, 4 pins, 2 clips, 2 decals.

 

The color looks amazing but the sticker being off center kills me

 

That's since been corrected. I was lining up the lettering with the pistons and the 2 calipers are different. Better than new at a fraction of the cost.
