Re: Interested in some EVO breaks

Calipers should be just fine after 42k miles. Its common for the '03 caliper paint to fade like that so you'll just need to toss a new coat of caliper paint on (if you care how they look).

That caliper isn't faded, they're still shiny. MINE are faded, they're clearly dull but still bright red. Those front calipers were heated to the point the paint started to burn. I've seen pictures of stock Evo 8/9 calipers turning almost black because the paint was burned so bad, simply from heavy braking.

Re: Interested in some EVO breaks

Brake related question so i'll just toss it in here, would it be worth doing stainless steel brake lines? The only benefit for me I think would be that i'd never have to worry about replacing the brake line ever... is there any other reason to do it?
