    New Rotors and Painted Calipers on my 300C - not 56k friendly

    I know some feel this is a waste of money, but I figured it was my money.
    I've been looking for rotors and I liked and avoided the ones made in China.
    I found these from Disc Italia and liked them.

    It wasn't hard but took about 6 hours total. Raised my "C" on jack stands
    and removed all 4 wheels/tires, calipers and rotors.

    Painted the calipers with red G2 brake caliper paint and the hub and caliper
    brace with G2 black. Waited 2 hours per instructions and reassembled. The
    really hard part was waiting 24 hours before driving.


    Here are a few pics:

    Great look

    Wish Brembo had drilled / slotted rotors for us SRTs... maybe it will be part of DCXs fix on our brake issues?

    Glad to see you took the time to do that job right. Nice work. Well worth the effort in my book.

    I've been looking for months. I finally found these at:

    I used Rustoleum EpoxySheld from Home Depot on the garage floor just over a year ago. So far it's holding up great.
