caliper rebuild help
i want to get my calipers powder coated but i know i will have to take a part and rebuild my calipers to do so. hoping for some help from someone who has done this. Has anyone done this or do most just paint their calipers?

It's not terribly difficult, but a little hard to describe.
Start here to see if this is something you want to tackle.
You can always have a shop do it for you if you're not sure.

Damn I was trying to avoid that haha did you do yours?

I did mine. All you really need is a compressor and air blower...and some basic hand tools.
They're fairly easy to do...but of course I've rebuilt many calipers before, soooo....

cars 4 years old at most. why rebuild. are you just doing it cause you will have the brakes apart? usually you do a caliper rebuild at 10+ years or if something specific is wrong.

The front kit price sounds right...the rear seems really out of whack.
Realistically the rear has was less pieces to it than the front. If the price they gave you is accurate, I would be shopping around...it seems really off.

I haven’t done anything with the rears yet. Doing a 350 conversion on the rear wouldn’t yield much performance or aethestic results. If anything I would just powder coat them to match the front.
