Those all look great.

Oh and I did find little pieces of media in the threads on a few of the calipers, so I'm positive they blasted them.

The calipers look great Spdrcr. Shiny... We just sand ours and paint them black at the end of the season, as they just turn black anyway and, with all the seal and dust boot changes (4 a season) and brake bleeding (weekly), they get pretty roughed up. We don't, however, split the calipers. Brembos racing advised us that, unless the need was dire, we should not pull them apart as they (including the bolts) were not really designed to be retorqued/ rebuilt. I'm not suggesting that my information was perfect, but was wondering if you had spoken/ worked with Brembo to ensure your process for rebuilding met their criteria and maintained the operating integrity of the caliper?

Thank u.

Brembo advices against it but to insure media doesn't get stuck in it its best to split them. Also the powder will crack where the two halves meet from the constant vibration.

They've been split and people have been doing them that way for a long time and no failures yet so its not dangerous to split them but brembo advices against it.
