Re: Red Break Calipers?

I don't believe hyundai sells (or even made) powdercoated rear calipers, I think it was only the front ones. But yea, SFR or you could even try TTG enterprises (another vendor here) because they might have some used ones off a wrecked tib.

Aw man, so you dnt think the SE's had the rear calipers painted red??? i dnt know for sure if they come red in the back either but that doesnt make sense? iff they dnt? but yea SFR only has the front? im sure the SE models have red in the back too? i gotta look at some pics?

 

Re: Red Break Calipers?

really?


you would rather spend hundreds on new calipers (plus installation) when a $5 can of paint and a $2 sticker will accomplish the exact same thing?
really??

also, there are no rear factory red brakes. only the fronts came painted.

yea id rather do that? lol idk stickers! na not a big fan, but i would install the new calipers of corse. and wow thats kinda stupid? hyundai only made the front red!? that looks funny no? or it doesnt really look bad with red in front and silver in back, or whatever color they are anyways?

 

Re: Red Break Calipers?

The hyundai is not painted on the calipers from the factory. It is just a sticker, that oddly enough you can buy. Just like the red high-temp paint hyundai uses. Yeah overall id say its pretty easy to paint your BRAKE calipers if you follow the DIY and tape stuff off. Or the better way to do it is a BBK from stoptech http://www.stoptech.com/products/BBK/options.shtml

Not true I have a 06 se and they are painted red and white there is no sticker

 

Re: Red Break Calipers?

The SE only has red brakes in the front, not the rear. The red ones are also made of aluminum, so they are lighter and reduce the unsprung mass of your car.

yea that too, there lighter so, i am getting a litte somethin uther than looks but still, im just crazy like that! lol,

 

Re: Red Break Calipers?

i painted mine this summer, really easy to do, i bought a package that had high temp paint, caliper clearner, and a mixing stick and brush and everything (it wasnt a spray so i didnt have to mask anything) and the whole thing cost me 25 bucks and you can say "yep i painted those myself"

id rather get the real deal, for example^ but there expensive =/, i dnt want to paint though either, and i know its easy! but still?

and now im not likin that i cnt get the rear ones in red either, ima call hyundai and say wtf is with the se model, they decide to do a half *** job with the painted calipers lol

 

Re: Red Break Calipers?

and brake calipers have nothing to do with unsprung weight since they are static. They don't move and do not use energy from the engine to be moved. Getting lighter calipers would be like taking a dump before getting in your car as far as weight reduction is concerned.

Lighter rotors, rims, flywheel, pulleys, etc... things that spin... are what you were referring to with unsprung weight.

 

Re: Red Break Calipers?

rofl 430$ for some single caliper pistons. Seriously just paint your own or if you are really set on randomly buying the exact same calipers you have but prepainted let me know Ill go a junkyard get some paint them put stickers on and sell them to you for 390$. Thats a good deal right?

Damn you... I was gonna let this thread run out a little and make the same offer.... only in a more sneaky way...

I was going to offer to sell him my stock red painted w/ Hyundai lettering... both front and back.... lol
My tib was special order... really.... it came that way... I swear..... :3_pimatyo

 

Re: Red Break Calipers?

yea yea....... you guys love to save money^ lmao, but i get what you guys are saying, maybe ill consider painting? idk, for almost 500 bucks i am halfway there to the price for rims! lol
the ones that Alpine white has too infact =)

 

Single piston rotors? You mean the pointlessly crossdrilled rotors off the new SE? http://www.newtiburon.com/forums/showthread.php?p=2739104#post2739104 A thread that didnt get many views or responses my guess for the sole reason that people love the little holes in their rotors. Dunno why. Anyways I think im done here.

 

no no, single piston calipers, the ones that are with the se model are single piston not double

 

This thread is the biggest collection of misinformation I have ever seen. I'll keep my corrections to the SE calipers, since I have an 07 SE, and let others address the other mistakes. The front calipers are red and the rear are black. The Hyundai lettering on the front calipers is not a sticker, it is raised lettering molded into the calipers. I don't know about older SEs, but 07-08 SEs have 12 inch rotors.

On my previous 04 GT I painted all four calipers red and put metallic Tiburon decals on them, and they looked great, Total cost, about $50.

 

Ok sorry to missinform him that the hyundai on the new 07-08 calipers is raised lettering and no longer a sticker. Man good thing you came in to clear that up.

 

just chiming in the letters are raised in the caliper like dctibby said. i actually felt one of the SE calipers to make sure at the dealer and yeah it's imbedded into the caliper.

 

I painted mine to look just like SE's. Total cost was under $25. IMO, spending hundreds on new calipers is really unnecessary
.

 

I have an '05 SE and I would just like to mention that the lettering on my front calipers is not a sticker either......

 

do you know if we can buy the stickers

 

Ebay, and you shouldn't bump old threads mods will get mad

 

do u know u shouldn't be bumping 3 year old threads?

 

inb4 lock lol the**** is going on in here

 

ITS ALIIIIVVVVVEEEE!!!!!






or should I say dead...

 

Rule #1: Never bump dead threads.
Rule #2: Never create a new thread on an existing topic, no matter how old it is.
Rule #3: Enjoy your paradox.
