All

I have the z32 calipers coming shortly for the car, and Ive decided I want to powdercoat the rears along with the fronts. My problem is this, Im not sure whether its better to buy a rebuild kit for my current calipers or a whole new set of rears. Either way they have to be taken apart so I can bake them once the powder is applied.

Any suggestions?

If anyone has a write up on the rebuild that would be great, I need to get my hands on that too

 

watt up...heres the only thing that I have thats worth anything. Its for a 7-series, but its a well written write-up. Also, have you ever powder coated things yourself before? I just got done painting my 2k4 calipers before I installed them, and repainted my rear at the same time. I applied 3 coats and theres already a few chipped spots on the fronts from the install. I would've loved to have powder coated mine. Good luck with your rear calipers.

i powerdcoated mine not too long ago... if the calpiers look good then just rebuild them... i had a shop do it for me cuz i didnt feel like messing around with stuff like that... cost $30 for all four to get rebuilt

 

THanks for the linky. I think this will help with reassembling my front Z32's however I have been told the rears are a real PITA with the parking brake assembly. I might pull them apart and remove the cores, have the caliper frames powder coated and then have a shop put them back together... Only problem is the $$$
