Nope. Warm weather (above 30 and sunny ) is here and I have the new seals, I'm just waiting on the pads and brake fluid. Once I have that I'll get a friend over and we'll install them.

Edit: Grrr, Autozone got me the wrong seals. Dammit. I'm done with them, they never get it right when I need something Just ordered the right ones from NAPA. Once those are here I'll finish up with that. Good news is that the caliper pistons and walls are in good shape, no pitting at all. Yay.

Mine will be painted today after I'm done with some office work. Really, the only thing that will hold my project up is the pads. Everything else will be here before they are.

I had the opposite problem. More front pads to choose from than I could handle. It's the rear pads that are the issue. Company is waiting for the rear pads before they ship the front ones out.

Thats exactly what happened to me with the pads (for a month) until i changed the order to Hawk HPS for the rear...Now I just need to find some time to install my rotors and pads (still OE calipers though). I just wish I hadnt gotten the pads before I saw this thread.

Yeah, if they don't ship by mid-next week I'm changing my order on the rear pads. This is rediculous.

does this mean we can buy DSM rotors too? 400+ dollars for drilled/slotted is pretty pricey.. dsm parts are usually cheaper too..

I'm not sure of that yet. I got a set of rotors thrown in with the calipers I bought, but I haven't test fit them yet. I hope they fit, they were already resurfaced and I'd hate to have to toss them.

Yup. Lemme grab a pic and I'll edit this post.

Edit: Here they are. Ooo, ahh. Painted them in one of the utility closets in the basement, so no, my main house closets don't look like that.

Before anyone asks, the reason I didn't paint the inside of the brackets is two reasons - first, you can't see it on the car. Second, the clearances on brake parts are very very small. The thickness of paint can throw things off enough to where parts won't fit right.

Probably doesn't come with brackets, though.
