Blue sounds good but won't the paint scrape off when you apply the brakes?
I'd probably paint the calipers as well... |

Now Whoosha, I seem to remember you telling me that there was no need to upgrade the brakes as the standards were fine and that even though I got mine for a great price I was wasting my money.
Remember saying that? EDIT: Oh and I'd leave them as is, they'll suit perfectly. What rotors are they? look like RDA?

They are RDA rotors. Don't paint them, leave them as is I reckon. I regret painting mine.

All done with lunch thrown in :
Re integrating my original statement to R G not a big priority mod for the cost, as I got them at the rite price well worth it for me : Now here's a brief comparison of the 2.. AU S11 has bigger pistons and bigger pads, so the only real improvement would be the massive rotor size difference on the Premos with that in mind my thought would be just get the mounting brackets and fit the S11 calipers with bigger rotors at a third of the cost anyway that's just my opinion : haven't road tested them yet still wait for my pump and hold man to turn up so I can bleed them S11 at the top S11 at the bottom supervisor

the wings sure look good through the spokes, and they're a mean set of rotors. be interesting to hear what u think of they're performance.
