Came home to a big box waiting for me which contained these:

Sorry for the crappy cell phone picture. The color is Lambo orange. I will try to get some better pictures when they are mounted on the car. And I'm going to flush the entire brake system with this stuff (including the clutch line)

Does powder coating hurt the cooling power of rotors since you just baked an outer shell to it? Probably ok for street though.

Last I checked, that brake fluid is around $80 per liter.

Ok my numbers were off the castrol is 593 dry and 513 wet vs ate is 536 dry and 399 wet. But I can flush the ate @ 14.50 per liter 2 per year for 2.5 years before I would spend as much for the castrol

what color is your car

Kona Blue

I didn't really want the dinky rears to stand out. I painted them black with Duplicolor.

Yeah the Castrol SRF is stupid expensive at $70 a liter, but I'm hoping the superior wet boiling point will help with my shifting issues (lockouts) that I'm having which I believe is related to boiling of the fluid. There are other brake fluids out there with similar dry boiling points for much less but I believe the wet boiling point is more representative of the normal state of the fluid.
