Default Painting the LS400 Brakes






Purchased remanufactured calipers and Brembo blank rotors
Got around to painting them today.

Waiting for the Stoptech Stainless Steel brake lines that I ordered to arrive before installing them.

Never mentioned that I installed Pirelli P Zero Nero tires last Friday. Tried to get the car aligned on Saturday, but the shop called to say that they believe that I need a new rack and pinion. The rack is fine, so I ordered a set of battle mode rack bushings. Will be installing them when I get them also.

Started off the morning with a mistake. I lightly tapped a curb with my rear wheel when I was pulling out of a parking spot. Luckily, my friends are being very supportive by offering to buy my wheels from me if I don't want them anymore. lol

They are manzo axle backs. Purchaded from eBay. Also know as m2 or topspeed pro 1s. Even beluga I believe. It's a straight through design, nice subtle deep tone. When I complete the exhaust itl gets very aggressive with an amazing tone.

If those lips are plain polished, just sand the area down by hand and smooth it out, followed by some metal polish. Not going to look 100% perfect obviously because you are removing material but should be MUCH better to where it doesn't even catch your attention.

If chrome or polished/cleared, than it's a bit more tricky as you might need to re-chrome them or re-clear them for a perfect finish.

They're regular polished with no clear. I was going to do as you said, but my friend told me to drop the wheel off at his place and he'll take care of it for me.

Yeah that should be a piece of cake to take care of.... Just a mini pneumatic sander and that could be fixed in a couple of minutes.
