Whats generally your time to completion for brembos in black mark? More than likely with a reseal etc?

Ive got it down now so that If I recieve them on a Monday, they'll be completed by the Friday.

Last set I did in 3 days.

Prior notice is required for seals as its 10 days to get them here from the US.

Brembo's are $320 full set.

No seals, just strip and paint + decals.

Cost price for seals is approx $95 for fronts and $75 for rears.

Very nice.

As soon as she hands it to you, slowly take of your pants, then, while staring her straight in the eyes rub it against the tip of you penis, while continuing your painfully intense gaze whisper to her;

Just curious, how long does the paint you use last?

Will it look like these evo brakes in 1 year, 2 years or 10 years?

Not having a stab, just wondering how hardy the paint is that you use, Mark? :)

If looked after properly they'll last ages.

Ive had them on a previous car for 3 years till I sold it and they looked as good as the day they were painted.

NEVER use any type of wheel cleaner or put a high pressure hose right up to them. Dont leave brake fluid on them after bleeding, even around the nipple.

I brush mine down with a wheel brush through thte spokes every time the car gets washed. Then rinse off with water and let air dry.

What if a high pressure hose is used for the rims and you hit them just by passing between the spokes? Still asking for trouble?

HP hose is fine, just dont put it right up to the brakes. Moreso if theres a chip it "may" lift the paint.
