    I take it from your kudos that they are powdercoated?

    Looks real good!! I need to paint my calipers in a big way....

    Yep.
    JMB quoted me INSANELY AWESOME prices for powder coating of a few parts I wanted done.
    Ordering the OEM parts from Dragon was easier than walking down the stairs.
    Those guys make it dangerously simple to spend money and receive a high-quality part quickly. LOL

    The only tough part was that the bolt sleeves got their ends coated. It's a tight fit getting those buggers lined up to begin with, let alone with some extra on there. :grin:

    I'll take some shots with the wheels on today.
    The little bit of black really looks great. It sort of looks like the caliper is totally 'open'.

    I should give props to Keith too. He was over here for last night helping out with a bunch of stuff, including the sleeves and springs.
    Thanks for the help, man!

    Thanks John.
    I appreciate the comment (esp. from someone as detail-oriented as you. Heh heh)

    Here are some daytime shots:

    The SRT-10s come with the red TRW calipers.
    I just had the pad springs and bolt sleeves powder coated black.

    I have a question:

    How well will the powdercoating handle the flexing in the springs?

    I was worried about that too, until I realized that the springs only get flexed once....during installation.
    Nothing cracked or chipped during install, so I think they're okay.

    Now, if it were a normal compression or expansion spring that was regularly 'sprung' and 'unsprung', I think there might be problems.

    I'll check with JMB next time I talk with him.

    Yeah.
    I know it can be a little complicated when it comes to forums & vendors (stepping on toes inadvertently), so I keep the pimping to a minimum. :grin:

    I'll tell Justin about this place and see if he wants in.
    I know the other SRT folks here would dig his work (and prices).

    Just so you are aware, there is now a flexible powdercoating material available that come in different colors.

    If anyone is interested I can get more information on it.
