i want a big brake kit - but i cant afford one so i'll just paint the stock ones...

brush on or spray on?

I spent money on powdercoating, it faded after a year.

Went to AutoZone and got the brake caliper paint kit, spray on, just tape off what you don't want paint on.

Worked great, lasted 2 years so far, no issues.

but idk if i really want to tear apart and rebuild all 4 calipers leaving the car undrivable for a while...

Spend the money on pads

You can do the aforementioned paint kit in a couple of hours tops with the calipers on the car.

No rebuilding necessary and just as good if not better than powdercoating, at least in my opinion.

haha dont worry i'm going to do pads too.

any suggestions?

I use Hawk HPS (Blue) pads. I do some HPDE's 2 or 3 days a year and they work well for those and I
don't have any issues with noise from them on the street.

Hawk HP Plus

Or

Carbotech XP 10 (front) XP 8 ( rear)

Plenty of squeal on street though. You will have to relearn how to drive and erm! Your girlfriend would have proper grounds to seek separation.

I had the G2 caliper paint. It was indestructible until I got fast and went nuts with my brakes, then it started to fade and the silver turned gold. Now I have a gold caliper FL, a rusty MY05 take-off FR, and semi-faded rear discs. Black or red might be longer lasting.

Track car FTW!
