    Remotion, as fallguy suggested i also swapped the U-shaped lines from end to end before they were powder coated. I'm not sure if it makes any difference but it can't hurt.

    Thank god they did not powder coat yet only media blasted. Going to the do that change.. and they will be btw in very similar color to yours. I went with RAL 5002 ultramarine blue and will put also white decals.

    This should be the right part of mine does break while trying to open them: http://teilecar.com/?2621,porsche-99...96100&sLang=en

    Correct, left 99635296100 and right 99635296200


    Also put the seals back in the calipers before you have them powder coated, if you don't the powder will fill in the groove the seal fits in and they won't fit very well (don't worry they won't melt). You will need to plug the center of the seal where the piston would normally be so no powder gets in the bores.
    One last thing don't coat the mounts on the caliper (see photo).

    Thank you very much. I think they will plug off all holes before powder.

    ps. do you really have V10 in the roadster? Any project topic about that or videos?

    You're welcome.

    Yes there is a V10 in the roadster, it's not finished yet but it will be for next summer. I have started a build thread yet but I will. I have pretty much everything to finish it except for time...

    That's not fair--you have to at least start a thread.

    I hid it on the inside as best I could and covered it in some clearcoat... I have faith some of it is still intact... maybe invisible but still there

    Fallguy, why they were out of the car? Have you felt that non-M brake master cylinder is a perfect fit for these brakes or would you change it?

    I just never installed the fronts yet, been swapping in a twin turbo LS.... just removed the ABS pump the other day for clearance.... will be relocating it.

    As for feel I didn’t notice much with just the rears. Was fighting some squeaks tho. Think I got it figured out. The pads I had were a little larger that the rotors. So I beveled the top and bottom slightly. They had a step in them from running over the edge of the rotor.

    Some day I will probaly make up some custom hats to use with a slightly larger bolt on rotor.

    Coupes...
    This is pretty cool. I have been sitting on this project for the better part of a decade. The crossover pipes are what I have been searching for.

    So thanks for sharing.
    White is Right, Steel Grey is OK, but Estoril is the only color that truly matters.

    I like Coupes.

    We fabricated custom copper pipes, it was actually cheaper in factor of about 8x than the 100€ stealer pipes from brembo/porsche.

    If you don't put the bleeders and crossover pipes in the correct orientation, you'll never be able to bleed the brakes. BTDT.

    I wasn't quoting you, but anyway, my point was that correct orientation does matter. Leading or trailing edge, the bleeders should face up when mounted.
