the rears dont fit... I know they are suppose to, without a bracket but i think i know why.
When i did the rear disk conversion from drums to disks. I got the stock RS fronts. Which do fit the 4 pot brembos, Not the rear 2 pot brembos...
So i would have to get new knuckels to get them to fit... and im not going to, so Who wants to buy the rear brembos along with Sport Rotors and HPS pads. All new of course. Fresh powdercoat too.
:rofl: (Sarcasm) not to happy at the moment.
Godspeed manufactures a bracket for these so, im kinda not ****ed... YEAY

The rears are powdercoated Red. if you want them i would like to get $550 for the rears + the slotted rotors and the parking brake shoes.
Im going to check with a junkyard next week so i will get back to you. I will pm you later.

hey where can i buy some powdercoat. Also do you have some closeups of your fronts asembled? I painted my one caliper( after sanding the piss outa it and removing all old paint) but it still didnt look right so i stripped them again and ill retry.

Do you have a powdercoater? if not then you could borrow mine, get the powders at caswell plating, you wanna buy a tgic formula. Also you will need an oven, you can have mine as well if you want. i will take some of the rears to because they came out really clean!

do you have any idea as to what colours they have. im thinking silver but a nice gloss black wil hide alot of imperfections. what di need to use the gun, if you dont mind ill borrow your gun this time and if it comes out goo d ill invest in my own.

ANy color you can think of, i have a whole new container of Gloss black you can have, well use for a rental fee, $5. :)
Also, silicone plugs for the threaded portions, and some heat tape oh and and carb cleaner. just to clean off the caliper prior to coating. Ill put it all into 1 box so you have everything if you'd like and ill even give you the down low on powdercoating so you dont **** up the calipers.
