    These are not anodized if you are talking about that the finish will get burned up.

    If you are constantly burning up your calipers, time to move on to some better brakes like Stoptech. It is cheaper in the long run. Stoptechs have a thicker pad so they transfer less heat to the caliper. They have lighter and cooler running rotors to transfer more heat out of the brakes.

    If you constantly run so hot that you kill the seals and you dont care about the color, then we can just rebuild them and not make them cute.

    Do you have any in stock that you can just do a quick swap for? Like I pay the fee for the front and rears give you my old Brembos and swap out for new (refurbished) set in stock? Just trying to have as least amount of down time as possible!

    Thanks! I will be definitely be coming here in the future for a bunch of other stuff I want done/fixed on my Evo I have heard nothing but good things about RRE!

    Other fruity colors... well it might get tricky but possible. Centric does the dissasembly and inspection and then sends them to a local powdercoater that does all their stuff to their specs. Â*Then back to Centric for the assembly. So any color that the powdercoater has available could be done. You would have to provide a color sample and be patient. You would have to trust that everyone would do their best to match the color within reason. But if you are gonna have a kitten if it does not perfectly match your Takata belts or some crazy shit I wouldnt want to get involved in the middle of the mess.

    lol so many diva's with evos. i can totally see someone in the stance scene throwing a fit when their pink calipers don't match the pink polo they're wearing with the popped collar

    I am going to be coming in soon to drop some off. I am currently looking for a second set to do so I have no down time.

    I have a set of Evo VIII Brembos that I used to rent out to people who were sending their calipers to TCC to be coated. I sent you a PM.

    ^^^ a smarter business model would be to have a rebuilt and repainted pair ready to sell to the next guy. (No charge for that one).

    Hi Mike,

    Does RRE still offer this service? If so, is this pricing still accurate?

    I read on your website about this, but it's not entirely clear if this has been discontinued or if you still provide this through Centric.

    If it matters, I have a full set of brembos (F & R) that I'm looking to get remanufactured. Final color i'm looking for is black and they are Subaru brembos, if that makes a difference.

    Feel free to PM me, if you like.

    Thanks!

    It;s complicated. They changed powdercoaters. What they do now is more in line with stock factory calipers. Not the deep flossy glossy finish like shown in those pics. Same price, less show. If you needed your stuff properly rebuilt and repainted to look decent, putting them back on a car that will be used and abused like an EVO should (lots of bleeding, high temps, wheels on and off, tracking the crap out of it) , not doing them for show... then we _can_ do this. There will be some orange peel, a few dirt specs. Similar to stock.

    Yeah, I saw the update you posted. I'm more concerned with a top notch mechanical rebuild and can deal with the minor visual flaws.

    I'll be looking to do this in the next month or so. What's the best way to coordinate? I'll be shipping the calipers from Miami.

    I have a 2010 Subaru WRX that I'm putting STi brembos on...

    Just bumping this for details on how to coordinate:

    - Full (2F & 2R) brembo reman through Centric
    - powdercoated black
    - shipping from/to Miami
    - Subaru brembos (mechanically identical to evos).
    - Ok w/ new powdercoat process, even if minor visual flaws

    Please let me know the best way to proceed. Thanks...
