SO whatcha think?

HAHA That's great! I think there might be a TINY bit of overspray off the caliper.

haha, holy christ man, went a little crazy on the paint no?

i guess it should be fine, i read any paint on the rotors comes right off as soonas you start breakin.

i think u should have taken the calipers off before spraying. now its just a flaming red mess behind the wheels..

[/Joke on]HAh Alex mine are black remember! It looks wicked when that upainted spot under the pad that I couldn't spray is spinning. For some reason the brakes don't grip as well as they did (except that one unpainted spot). I call it super antilock because the wheels NEVER lock[/Joke off]


Anyway, suspension is about a 1/4" higher in the front right still. Next time I have the wheel off I'll try lowering the coil another little bit.

If I go down to my parkade and find that you've carved up my rotors like a bad thanksgiving turkey I'm gonna be pissed Alex!

SlowAzzPorsche911T
i think alex should vonvert your discs to old vw drums :P

typesly
that pic is sooooo old. It's obviously a joke cause i've seent it on forums way back

ChromeDragon
Actually the original red you see above was not a joke from what I gather. In the other post from last week where someone painted their pads and rotors white, that was a joke.
