Honestly, the '02's look better, but both seem to be holding up (i.e. about the same durability).
I'm not looking for show quality. Just can't stand the dull rusty color of them now. I'll go with the brush method, won't be as time consuming and should give the result I'm looking for. Thanks!

I don't blame you. If I hadn't been doing SS lines, I wouldn't have taken them off just to paint them either.

Anything is possible with proper application of money. The front brembos would be silly, but brembo does make smaller calipers as well that could be made to work with a custom bracket. Probably not worth the time and money unless you're doing a track car. (and even then....)
