I'm currently looking at a few S2K's and I find it odd that all the calipers have turned as if they have seen high heat. Is this normal? Having owned an ITR I've seen this a lot with OE calipers that have used track pads, but never on stock cars. I know for a fact these cars have never been tracked, which is why I ask. Any input appreciated.

 

The calipers have turned? What are you talking about?

 

OE finish is gone and caliper has turned chalkie grey.

 

uhhh just my take but they all look like that junky gray, until you paint them, powdercoat them or go with different calipers.

 

I don't remember seeing ANY car with shiny calipers....other than certain "special" cars with nice brake packages such as the Porsche, NSX, etc.

Even new cars at the dealer have "turned" calipers, as you put them.
