Painted calipers....adjustment needed?
 

So I got my calipers painted last week...it rain bad the other day and today I got a low tire pressure light so I went to go put air...when I look at my tires I saw rust marks on the rotors where it looks like the caliper does not make contact with ...is this normal? Or do I need to adjust the calipers? I've attached pictures for reference. Thanks :tiphat: front driver Attachment 92827 rear driver Attachment 92828passenger rearAttachment 92829passenger front Attachment 92830

Pretty sure that's normal. At least that's what mine look like with both OEM and aftermarket rotors. The calipers are held in place with big 22mm bolts, so I'm not sure there's much adjustment to be made.

Thanks for reminding me that it bothers me :mad: :icon17:

Thanks! And sorry didn't mean to bring bad thoughts about ur Z... I just didn't really pay too much attention at my rotors before lol...glad its normal :D

:icon18: I'm just breaking ballZ ;) Mine is a DD, so I have to reign in my OCD sometimes :icon17:

It's been so long since I detailed my wheels, I had forgotten :ugh: I hate it when I wash my car and the rotors get all rusty. But at least you can just brake to take off most of the rust. That little ring and the slots in my current slotted rotors are always rusty though :(

Mine is a DD as well and yes most of it goes away when u start breaking... which rotors do u have now BTW?

I purchased the EBC Ultimax slotted front rotors a little over two years ago. In hindsight I probably should have just gotten the Z1 slotted rotors for both front and rear for slightly more $$$. I'll probably get the Z1 rear rotors whenever I decide to replace those.

Cool...I'll probably get the Z1 2 PCs rotors as well but I'm not sure about the 2pc rear I've read that some people are having trouble keeping their e brake on with those so idk yet lol

yah, that's unforunately normal on the rotors.

btw whyd you paint your akebono's brembo orange? :ugh:

Its not brembo orange hahaha its the Audi ttrs orange

:icon18: :tup: yah, i was just joking around.

i happen to have the factory brembo's on my G35C and they're not worth bragging about, although they look cool. :D haha

akebono's are so much better. :tup:

Nice color selection. How about a pic of the whole caliper and wheels? :tup:
