I had heard one time from a Brembo rep... to never disassemble the calipers... that the stretch caused by tightening them the first time would drastically hurt the joining of them again.

Just be careful... watch for leaks and that it's solid for a while.

Did they clear coat over the sticker when they did the powdercoat? MIne look like crap, as well, was thinking of using the G2 system to repaint.

Nope, put it on afterwards. So far so good.
