New Powerslots / Calipers! *PICS INSIDE*

Just got my Powerslots / Calipers / Pads put on, and MAN do they make a difference! Braking is smooth as butter now. I went with the Axxis Metal Master pads, due to very low (non-existent or so they say) brake dust. Sure does make the wheels look better - check out the 'before' pic.

Naah - no scratches on the chrome, just a sometimes lazy owner that doesn't wash it before taking pictures, hehe

I have to paint my rotors and claipers too. I bought this paint called Zero Rust. My color choices were black and gray. I may do the calipers in gray and the rotors in black. Nice looking rims. Post a pic of the rims where you see the car too. They probably look even better.

Nismo - you're absolutely correct about the wheels. And yeah, on stock height for about another month, when I'll do the illumina/h&r drop.

Did you remove or cut off the stock metal dust shield behind the rotors? I don't see it in the after pics.

The Axxis/PBR Ultimate pads dust A LOT. I've never used the Metal Masters, but if they really do turn out to be great at stopping with minimal dust, please let us know!

i don't think you should paint the actual rotors.

the rotor guards are still on there, just not nearly as noticeable with the new rotors. Also, the Axxis Metal Masters seem to be hanging in there quite well. Zero dust so far.
