Might clash with his paint job though.

Vacuum plug will work to cap the lines. You can buy a bunch of then at the auto parts store for cheap. I'm very proud of you for the big boy brakes.

It was just a stupidly great offer I stumbled upon looking for rear brakes to match the Brembo's being offered on this site.... It was posted on NASIOC.


For the back, I'm getting Stoptech slotted rotors for OEM calipers and painting them blue. At least the color and rotor matching is good enough for me.

The back brakes are a waste of money... The stock ones have more stopping power than rear brembos because the OEM caliper piston is bigger.

Andres @KAB-FRS does powder coating in his shop, including for the latest batch of FA20club turbos. It will be done there.

Agreed, looked really nice. I've seen Andres's shop work for several other cars ( example valve covers for S2000, Sylvia's, etc.) and they all have looked flawless.

Piston size is only one part of the equation my young padawan. I don't care what @OrbitalEllipses says. I still love my full STI swap.
