Worth changing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddy's also got black wheels, so brake dust won't be such an issue.I've got chrome wheels on both cars (taxi and Tornado) so I notice brake dust straight away.Maybe Luke and I should swap pads for a month or two and see what difference we can each notice.Facepalm.jpeg You like hawk pads we get it, but do you really think I can't spot brake dust on black wheels?

Shiny surface just turns faded/matte looking. Can see it's a layer of dust.In the end performance is #1 so I care far less about dust and squeaks. Only takes 10 minutes to have them looking primo again! Still, who doesn't want to have their cake and eat it too hahaha. Always looking for an improvement.

Would cost me $450 to get repainted (two pack paint), same kit as yours - 4 pot front, single PBR rear. That price was ten months ago and included me dropping them off to him, and him making the rear calipers nice and smooth instead of the pitted factory finish.Good excuse for picsBut you want lime green with yellow or white pearl I reckon, f*ck yeah Steve what's the shop name?

If you're lucky he'll have driven his XR GT to work!Yeah I liked the green and was close to pulling the trigger on that but I chickened out and went something less adventurous. Silver cars with black rims and green brakes look mad though, I Googled it and found a couple silver with green brakes BMWs and Mercs etc. Nice.
