Painted Calipers

[Iconic Bionic]

The blue painted calipers look awesome but I have the Bionic blue colouy so dont think it would suit mine. Thinking of red or yellow calipers to do this weekend.

Has anyone got a pic or the standard calipers and 1 of the premiun calipers so I can see the difference?

I bought a T this weeka and the calipers look quite large for standard so I thought it might be the PRB upgraded ones.

Any pics would be great.

The picture is of the front brake of a BA XRT (BAT) with the factory Premium Brake option.

Note the characteristic grooved rotors.

The rear rotors have the same grove pattern. The rear calliper is the standard item and remains unpainted.

You will have also have a fatory fitted full size alloy spare - mandatory option.

Your front wheels will dust up in a couple of days.

The PBR's after market upgrade has the same front calliper as the Premiums but in this case it is painted red.

The PBR AM upgrade has conventionally grooved discs front and rear.

The rear calliper is painted red. (I think)

The only differnce between the factory brakes and the premium bakes are

* Rear Rotors are slotted

* Rear Calipers are just painted that's all

* Rear Steel Braided Brake hoses Performance

* Front Calipers are still twin piston and painted aswell

* Front Calipers have been inproved in bite and design

* Front Rotors are slotted

* Front Steel Braided brake hoses Performance

I havent got any pictures of the differnce in the cailpers but.

from memory the rear rotors havent changed they are just slotted that's all

so that they are still 303 x 16

But the front rotors change and they are bigger they are 325 x 32

How do I know all this becuase I work at PBR and I make them

PS: these are mine havent put them on but.
