i was just wondering how many miles are the clear coat on the brakes covered under warranty? they just started peeling at 47k. thnks

 

sorry to tell you man...but i think you are SOL. Mitsu plain sucks...and wont cover it. i sanded mine down myself and re-cleared them...but now again they are peeling. the are coming off soon to get sandblasted and powder coated. everyone here has the same issue.

 

Yah but if you want to redo them yourself it isn't hard and I think it cost me 20 bucks total including the brembo decals and they look great

 

ah crap, oh well, im sure there is a write up on here some where on the step by process of redoing the brembos

 

I tried to warranty mine out, but the dealer said, "No". The reason why they said no is because they classify it as a wear and tear item. They said that rock or debres or some chemicals can cause the brake to peel so it's not a warranty item.

 

spyder,can you tell how u redid them and where you got the decals from, thanks

 

You brakes just now started peeling? I'm at 29K miles and mine are going downhill quickly. Should try to get that taken care of soon.

 

well wat can be done to avoid the peeling in the first place. MY IX only has like 10,000 on it so what can i do to take care of the brakes?

 

Another Brembo peeling thread huh? This is like thread number 1,001. Anyway, I say go to the dealer and try to get new calipers. I got all four of mine replaced in November under warranty. I had about 34k miles on the car at the time and it is an '04. My dealer hooked me up. Some wont but it is at least worth a shot.

To try and avoid the peeling, never use wheel cleaner or any chemicals on the calipers. I learned my lesson. Maybe that wasnt what did it but from now on they only see soap and water just to be safe.

 

Ok, I just checked my calipers today and the drivers side shows signs of potential pelling. The sad part is, I've owned my car for six months and it only has 5500 miles on it. If it pogresses I will take it down to Mitsu and see what they say.
I wouldn't expect something like this from Brembo brand.

 

My bro got all his brembos front and back replaced under warranty about a month ago. He has an 05 evo 8 with about 19xxx miles. My brembos were perfect till I got my brake pads changed and those aholes put something on my calipers. They said it was the brake fluid when they were bleeding the brakes. Now all of them are peeling. My car only has 16xxx miles. Sad really how these brembos peel so easy.

 

+1

 

Yeah mine are peeling, not too bad. Probably take them off and get my guy to clearcoat them for me. My boy's evo is at 60k and their bad.

 

time for another BBK maybe?

 

umm alcon?
