I have no idea if it holds up but you might be able to spray them yourself? I think EW did that to save a few bucks.

I have a local guy who runs a small business selling performance parts. Hes my go to guy because he gives me great deals on just about anything I need not just performance parts, https://www.kenjigarage.com/ (shameless plug), he told me he couldnt get Akebonos. Are those brakes exclusive to dealers?

Really? lol.. thats awsome! Tim is like 5 minutes from me. The first time I went to pick up some parts from him, I ended up in a residential area. He works out of his garage. Great guy!

If you need a better deal, let me know. He gives me good deals because I can pay him cash. Might be able to knock off a few more bucks that way.

Nah, its right in line for what I was looking to pay. I thought the shipping was going to be shitty but it was only $15. Cant argue with that.
