I was speaking to the brembo rep yesterday and he was trying to tell me stoptech are crap

I'm like what choice do I have since you guys don't make a brembo kit for the cu2?

He said there was not much market demand for the acura market

I hope these brakes aren't crap

Stoptech will still be good I think. Better than Rotora I believe.

look again, they are facing the other direction the way they are sitting.. so it looks like they will all be going the same way.

Naw. I already considered this. Rotate them 180 degrees and they'll still point in the same direction.

Hey Kosta, who does your powdercoating? Do you get it done locally? Calipers look great, wheels too.

Most powdecoaters rip the calipers apart, I didn't want to go that route
And have to rebuild them, since they were new. Had them painted instead.

Savclaude was busy so I had a guy on ig do them for me "apwdrew"

Don't know who to trust to get them mounted and balanced w/o scratching them up.

My wife's cousin worked at Benz and he was going to do
It for me because they have the new high tech machines,
but he got a new job last week. I called Acura, they said $100
but their machine can only handle up to 18's.

Porsche said they could do it but $250 +tax, too pricey

I know RI is ghetto (having lived there for a few years), but there is gotta be a tire shop that can do it!!!!!

I used Apex in MA for my Mr2 Turbo, great job.

If you're willing to travel, Eastside Motoring in Waltham is awesome. They mouned my tires with ease, and my tires are stretched so yours should be a breeze. They back their work 100% and they work on all sorts of exotics too. Check them out - Eastside Motoring Massachusetts Premier Auto Customization Shop | Eastside Motoring or instagram.com/eastsidemotoring

Glad I could help! They're like 20 mins away from me. Will you be mounting the wheels right away onto the wagon, or just mounting the tires for now?

You are amazingly patient

If I had new wheels I would drop everything and get them mounted

Hope things work out soon

Eastside Motoring in Waltham, nice guys!!!
They told me 2 of tires are out of round...suks
I think I may have to roll the fenders and not go too low cause it may rub.
