I didn't like the black/red letters so I removed the paint

Yeah it did. A Q-Tip with a bit of Nail Polish remover (Acetone) and it came off easier than nail polish.

So the moral of the story is never buy either of them, go away and be happy.

Wheels are changing - but Mike @ Thepowdercoater.com did an amazing job. Really quick - nice guy - awesome work. He even filled in the logos which I had been planning to cover up. I wasn't planning to advertise for Stoptech.... Anyway - calipers are going to look really good with a gloss black wheel. Thanks for the recommendation (for Mike) |

On a side note I have Stoptech front and rear on my M and have had them for well over a year with zero issues.

How quickly did Mike turn these around? Now you've got me thinking about matching my Trophy calipers to the Monterey Red paint on my Corvette. I'll have to talk to Mike about how that would hold up at the track, though. http://www.zeckhausen.com/images/Car...NHIS_800px.jpg

Mike did them in a few days - very fast. I will have other pics of the car soon and will post. The color is off a shade I chose color - but close enough as it's recessed and in the wheel well. It's very close and I'm happy with it for sure The car is having major work done to it and it will be in a couple car mags, will be at Bfest, Mfest, etc. Can't spoil the surprise quite yet - but you'll see it soon. And...If you know the right people, they can color match powder - no problem. LMK if you need more info. |

Few of my buddies with OE Porsche Brembos had terrible finish fading issues, their red Porsche/Brembo calipers turned pink after just a few track day use. After switching to Stoptech Trophy from GMG, the calipers still look new even after a dozen track days running race pads and no additional cooling. I had the opportunity to help one of them change pads right before an event, not to mention it was a breeze, I didn't see any discoloration on any of the bolts nor did I see rust.

Before I purchased my set I had a few questions: 1) Have they fixed the rusting bolt issue 2) Would they build me set without the Red/Black Lettering 3) Would they do a custom powdercoating on the calipers for an extra charge, so I could maintain warranty 4) Would they ship the brakes un-assembled to a powder-coating facility and I could ship them back for the to re-assemble to maintain warranty I called and emailed several times. When I called I would speak with the person who answers the phone and she would promise a phone call back, the returned phone calls never happened. After about 7-8 phone calls without a returned phone call I called and asked for a rep's email address. I then emailed several times and never received a response. So I ended up just ordering them and removing the lettering and it turned out great. The brakes are awesome and I wouldn't have sold them if I hadn't bought the GTR's. BTW i am ordering some things from Turner and happened to see a set that they are clearing out for $5,992. They are in the clearance section, mounted once and drilled rotors

![]() I actually just double checked my invoice from Harold at HP Autowerks and I got a better deal than I quoted above for those from Turner. Maybe give him a shout ![]()

^^ Yes, other than shitty customer service the brakes were great.
No problems or issues whatsoever
