Default Powdercoated Calipers

Got my calipers powdercoated today. They did an immaculate job. Just got the car back and it's dark but I was pretty excited. I'll post some clearer pics in the daylight! TT Performance in NJ. Thanks Matt!

Stock calipers. They charged $750.00 total. 6 hours labor @ $95, $140.00 for parts and powdercoating prep. The A4 brakes had to be completely disassembled before they could bake the powdercoat on... so it was a long day of work.

I am going to put on the Stasis front-rotor upgrade in a few weeks... this will reallly make those discs pop.

Will take a bunch more pics today with some good light if the weather holds :-/

@jason - you bet, I'll see you there.

they look really good, but for 750 on a college student budget its certainly not something that im gonna be doin anytime soon.

what size front rotors are you going with and are they gonna be slotted or drilled?

Hey Harry - thanks, yah I realize that it wasn't a cheap upgrade. But it looks pretty slick.

The rotors are the Stasis Signature Series Touring rotors:
345mm cross-drilled

yeah, those are some good quality pictures... i like the chrome side mirrors as well, nice subtle touch! how much did the stasis suspension lower your car? it looks very very nice with the 18s; they really fill out the wheel well very nicely
