Chris:

We do have a kit that I was playing with before deciding to go with the GXP kit that Mike sells at the W-Body store. But our kit is still way pricey at $3K. I believe Mike's kit is $6-700. I have put 50K on it and still have the same pads on it. I just came back from Vegas and was traveling at speeds between 65-120mph the whole way. Mashing on it then hitting the brakes in between gaggles of cars. The GXP set-up is a great kit hands down. Best thing is its all bolt on and drive.

 

3k is more way than most people here would pay for brakes, 90% of the people use their cars for everyday use! I know in the long run brakes and rotors get pricey! also do you have powder coated calipers available for specific model vehicles? thanks for everything, I'm done for the evening!!!!

That's why I was not to serious about building a kit for this vehicle. However right after I stopped putting a kit together I had an order come in for a Buick Park Ave.

The calipers are not powercoated they are painted using a very high temp specially blended paint. MovIt manufactures brake kits for more then 700 applications and all kits are made to order.

 

thanks Tom for all the info! the forum has recenty added a listing for commercial listings. please add your available listings there if you can offer the forum some of your products that you have available, thanks, you have some pretty sweet looking cars in your collection!

Thank you sir. I appreciate this forum and it's members. They have assisted me several times with bettering my W-Body and I only wish to help others if my expertise is needed.

 

Tonite iI did the front brakes using Brake Motive rotors and pads.

Painted calipers black to match car color using Duplicolor caliper paint.

Wednesday the rears will get done.

Before and after pics.

looks nice, how easy was it to do the calipers while still attached?

 

Not hard, I held the caliper by the brake line while painting. The Duplicolor dries fairly quick so I was able to do one side, wait about 15 minutes and do the other side. While it was drying, I attached the caliper to the strut spring with a short bungee strap.

Of course, you have to take the caliper mounting bracket off, two bolts, and then you can remove the rotor. With the bracket removed, it was easy to paint.

 

looking good, im thinking of going red calipers on my white monte.
how do you like the performance of these brakes?? i love how they grab when you barely tap the brakes.

 

I'll let you know after the rears are installed and properly broken in.
