So for those that have their's powdercoated, Did you get all new seals? or did the powder coat places not dip them in acid so you didnt need to? I want to get mine done soon so any info is appreciated.

 

When I do brembos for customers I strip the pistons and seals completely then I dip them in my bucket of chemical stripper. I have reused old seals and installed new seals. No problems with reusing old seals.

 

How many have you reused the old seals? Any failures? I just searched for seals. It's $150 for Girodisc seal kit for all four calipers. That seems crazy. Got to pay if you want to play.

 

I have done two sets with the old seals no problems reported from neither one and I'm on daily contact with both since they're my friends.

I believe kns is cheaper than girodisc but don't quote me on that since I only ordered from girodisc once and my latest customer brought his new seals and he bought them from kns but it's for a Subaru.

$150 for all 4 isn't too bad but I don't see the need to replace the old seals unless they're torn/beat or leaking. Some people like to do it for the piece of mind.

 

I did it for the piece of mind.

Mine are waiting being powder coated. Along with other parts.

 

How come the rears aren't split. And how come they're not blasted??

 

Didn't need to split them and they are blasted.

 

Those are definitely not blasted and there is still red paint on the inside.

This is what blasted brembos looks like


Those look like they were chemically stripped only.

 

Hmmmmm. I'll follow up with the shop.

 

other than tirado who does powder coating.?

 

I do.

 

A Subaru front set I finished yesterday.

Black chrome II over super chrome.



Ill get better pics once I assemble them and use my camera.

 

I saw the display spdracr83 had at East Coast MOD 2012. His work looks great! Good thing too, since tirado seems to be inactive for a while. BTW, I believe that its best to split the calipers, and paint the halves separately because if you don't, you'll ruin your expensive paint job if you ever have to to split them afterward.

 

Thank u for the compliments, my display was put together last minute so didn't have much to show.

 

I confirmed with the shop that they have been blasted.
