Ok so i got me some legend calipers. Just one problem, one of them is gold and the other is silver....They are gold stock aren't they...? What should i use to just strip both of them? I have some aircraft remover, should i use that...?

 

I got some calipers from Carquest and they were refurbished....one was gold and the other was silver...its just the finish that they had used. Anyway...since one gold caliper and one silver would look like **** especially on a white car....i just made the gold one a darkish silver...i scraped off what i could of the gold finish but its not the easiest thing in the world. Silver before Gold alwayssssss.

 

Or why not paint them both a different color?

 

I painted my calipers flat black..

 

^ I got my calipers from the dealer. They said that silver ones are non-oem. Never heard of that one before. Just as long as it says Nissin on the caliper (thats all that matters). If you want to paint the calipers, just make sure you get hi temp paint.

 

Actually, the caliper never gets that hot. I painted mine with regular indoor/outdoor gloss enamel and it worked out fine. Been on there for 2 months and no peeling

 

dammit i didnt wanna have to paint them. I was hoping one of them had some sort of coat on them that i could just strip off...

 

hell nah...

 

what is involved in all with the whole swap of the calipers?? do they line up right off the bat or do u have to get the brakets too?? Do they really make a difference? thanks

 

The legend calipers go right in. If you get them, make sure you order the brackets from the dealer, otherwise you will have to hunt them down from a junkyard. Dual piston calipers > single piston caliper. Its very noticeable on the highway when you go to slow down.
