Pretty sure that's just MAP for Brembo.

We've got some Stoptech deals if you want... Drop me a PM.

Paint-wise, if you were handy, you could get normal G2 caliper paint for $40something, or a custom color for $100 from G2. Otherwise, I would think you could get them powder-coated for that price or less.

Personally, I'm not sure I would ever pay that much for a BBK, but that's just me...

I agree man. That's way too much... As for the paint I was wanting them find in Mexico blue so I don't mind paying the premium for that really...

Gotcha... maybe can find out what colors a local powder-coating place has. I mean, it's similar to copier toner--they may be able to mix a custom color for you (a la Mexican blue) and it would certainly last longer than paint, without the detriment of being ruined if brake fluid does come in contact with it.

My friend had our local auto-body guy paint his TT-RS/RS3 calipers Mexico blue for $100. While that price certainly isn't the norm, $250 per caliper is absolutely rape. You should be able to have all four calipers powdercoated or painted for ~ $300 total.

Contact Sonic Tuning (on here) if you are interested in the AP Radi-Cal kit. I got it for around $3000 from them, and I'm very happy with it. They have the best prices on everything I have bought from them. Those quoted prices are nuts.

Cool thanks. I was blown away when he sent those prices back.
