i put the 5zigens on for spring/summer and noticed my passenger front caliper has a faded mark. i remember seeing people with this problem and mitsu replaced them. do they have to replace them or can they blame you for it? i figered that my exhaust or intake cant fade the paint on the brakes so would i have any problem going to any mitsu dealer or should i look out for some? im not sweating it to much but if i can get them replaced i will.

any information will be a big help

 

I'll let you know after I wash my car, this weekend looks like a possibility. They definitely look faded now but that's prob the brake dust.

 

i heard if you use some tire shine product and it gets on your calipers they start to fade and crack on you.. mine which are.. i dont know what else could've caused it so im blaming it on that

 

it really depends on the dealer. My dealer here in Austin, Tx doesn't seem to want to help with anything, but I've heard that's not always the case... My calipers are faded as well...just check with your dealer and see what they have to say...then report back..

 

same here. mine is already chipping the clear coat away... if mitsu doesnt wanna replace them.. just change the braking system on the car

 

Are you kidding? Cause as far as I know the red paint doesnt affect the performance of the brakes. But I could be wrong

 

Amen! There are people out there trying to get new engines and you're trying to get faded color brakes replaced. When I read the header I thought you were saying fading brakes=not working. Good luck though...

 

me too....

 

I can see the frustation in paying $30k for a car, and have the calipers fade on you. You could probably find a dealer to replace them, but wouldn't it be more of a hassle then it's worth? I guess it wouldn't if you really want your calipers that classic Brembo red, fresh and new.

But like AUSS1E said, It doesn't affect the performance of the brakes...

 

mine are really bad. i'm just going to paint them my self red and white paint and a little time is all you need.

 

mine have started too...sucks but if they don't replace/repaint em I will just repaint them unless I get crazy and decide I need a 6 pot hick

 

From what I have heard they don't replace them but repaint them for you ..... its never going to be the same ...

 

I think this is more of a showoff issue; you want the world to know you have Brembo's

 

Mine started developing faded spots as well. Though it does bug me a little I don' think I'll be trying to get the dealer to fix it. If it bugs me enough I'll paint them myself.
