It's almost time for a brake job on my '99 2.3 CL.

I appreciate any opinions you may have. I've considered Brembo and others.

I'm @ 145,000KM (90 625Mi).

I'm leaning towards the Power Slots up front and back.

I found a place that offered colored Calipers (with the option for pre-installed Hawk pads).





The name of the place is: XRC Brakes



Here is the total of the parts (including shipping):

Is this considered a good deal?

Has anyone heard good/bad on these calipers, or the company selling them?

Any info/opinions would be greatly appreciated

powerslot aka aem is aight. pretty good deals on them.

not too sure about those calipers. they may be good? they may be bad? i dont know. they look whack.

its no BBK, but the price isn't bad. however, if im dishing out that much money for upgraded brakes, id spend a lil more for somethin top notch.

That's a lot of money for painted calipers and such, just paint your calipers, and install brakes and rotors. they're interesting though

personally, if i was to get painted calipers i would get these w/o a decal in red

im happy with the 3 powerslot rotors i have. the other one is shot, i still cant figure out why, im getting to many opinion from to many different people, but otherwise i love the rotors. my hawk pads are sweet and i like the way my red painted calipers look.

AznX TL

its better than neon green and hot pink

lnsyone

not really.

that has to be the most rice i had ever seen in brake modifications.

calipers might be ghey, but at least they come with quality pads. but DIY painted calipers FTW.

lnsyone

id assume theyd function like "stock"..

why paint your calipers if you don't upgrade the brakes?

just get an f-ing brembo BBK, they make it for our cars for 2300

slamed_cl_on_18z

I dont see why spend 2300$ on brakes, when really we dont have all that power... just my two cents. Only reason why i would buy them would be to have that bigg ass rotor and caliper but still way tooooooooooooooooooooo much money for brakes.

slamed_cl_on_18z

Btw 600$ for both rear and front painted calipers is crazy!! for that amount i think you can get them chromed out or even iced out... dont know.

i painted my calipers red.. costed me 5 bucks and about 1 hour

not everyone has 2300 bucks to dish out... and the calipers are really ugly when rusted over.. so people end up painting them

simple as that.
