Congrats again on the new calipers! Out of curiosity is there a clear coat over the stickers?

nice chris do you know ryan kim there? let me know if you need help installing them make sure you get new nuts to put the rotors on in case you mangle the original ones (edit:forgot you had a BBK before so those nuts may not be as seized on)

dt07si- the stoptech logo on the trophy kit is not a sticker, it is engraved and painted

Thanks Dave! As mentioned below, they're machined and painted. I'll try to take a macro shot when I get home.

Thanks I should be fine on the install. Going to throw them on tomorrow after work. Yes I know Ryan Kim! You a friend of his too?

yeah, met him back in the day when he went to ucr. mutual friends. he was also helping me with figuring why the st-22 rear kit deleted the e-brake so went to visit them at their relatively recent compton location. because the rear st-22 kit eliminates the e-brake, i ultimately decided to get 18"s and hopefully get their 4 piston rear.

haha small world, same here, met him through mutual friends from the UCR days. One of my good friends from San Diego was roommates with him.

Now I know why they 355mm Stoptech kit needs 18" wheels--stoptech calipers are huge! much bigger than the Greddy's were. Since the kit I got is the 328mm to fit under 17" wheels, it means my new rotors are 2mm smaller in diameter than the greddy but the caliper sits much closer to the barrel and spokes of my wheel due to its size. The new calipers are larger in every dimension.

Oh and the braking is amazing. After my break in session last night, I was really happy I made the purchase.







Dave, here's the up close shot I promised.
