Could anyone post pics of their brake caliper using the G2 Brake Caliper Kit? It would be best if its red too!

foliatec and g2 are basically the same thing

Thanks! How do you put the axle stand where the jack is suppose to be? Do you put the jack in position and then put the axle stand?

njtls

you can jack the car up by either the front tow hook, lower control arm, or the front engine mount...

Sorry to sound stupid, but is it sprayed or brushed on? And either way, how'd you mask the rotor?

thsiao

G2 is brushed on and you can cover it with masking tape and newspaper.

Thanks. I been thinking of painting them, but today I saw one done, that really looked sharp, helped me decide.

is that jack stand where the stock lift point is at?

Now that you have RED calipers, slap some cross drilled / slotted rotors & performance pads on that puppy and feel the difference!

wats the best kind of caliper paint to use, i dont want it to chip off like my friends did

I have been doing that research myself and people seem to be very happy with the results using Foliatec and G2. I originally wanted to use the new Dupli-color Brake Caliper Kit but it is so hard to find that I just bought the G2 online yesterday instead.

I did mine with duplicolor red and it came out very nice. Will post pics tomorrow.

njtls

yes....why does everyone find that so weird?

thsiao

But how do you jack up the car using that point and stick in the axle stand on the same point?

Used duplicolor on mine. Just make sure u clean ur calipers well.

thsiao

Was the Dupli-Color you used sprayed on or brushed on? What did you use to clean the calipers?

benzo555

I just took a toothbrush with brake cleaner. Duplicolor also has a spray on pre-brake cleaner specially made if you're about to color the brake calipers. But mine were sprayed on. Too lazy to brush...

actlsub

here is some duplicolor red...

njtls

front engine mount...the manual lists it as a point to place a floor jack...its the first metal thing you see if you look under the front of you car in the middle....you'll see it...everything else under the fornt of the ca ris plastic...also if you look from the engine bay and look down at the front engine mount...you can see where it would be if you looked form underneath the car...you can lift both fornt tires at the same time this way....

njtls

also..those who use dupli color....how easy is it to clean brake dust off of and is the shine perfect like new after?

actlsub

no it is not perfect like new after, but with the cleaner they provide and if you just use a good brush i think it does the job just fine.
