    Not installed just yet, but finally have them in hand. Still waiting on the rotors.

    question is....... leave them grey or get them powdercoated...... if so, what color?

    My vote is leave them Gray. Not a huge fan of painted rotors. Screams Civic
    Also want to hear the improvement after you install them. What did that run you?

    I do agree that painted calipers can lend itself to a bit of “fast and furious” look..... I didn’t order them powdered because I, too, am leaning toward leaving them.

    they were $1250 for the pair.

    I’ll certainly post feedback. I’m Hoping for a decent improvement. These 35’s cause the stock configuration a great deal of strain

    Looks like your marketing a house with the fruit on the counter. Only reason I noticed as I'm in the home selling bizz! Very nice add though! I wouldn't spend the money on powder coating but I'm a cheap bastard most of the time! :thumbsup:

    thats my wife. She likes the way fruit looks but doesn’t love how fast it spoils....... so fake fruit it is.

    PS flush with my son. Cycled through just over 1qt of OEM ATF in there. Not sure if it’s ever been done in this truck or how long ago but the steering feels lighter and smoother on our quick test drive. Super easy job with some DIY fuel line, barn fittings & hose clamps. Also just put a splash of coolant in my overflow reservoir because it has been looking rather low lately even after long hot drives.

    I didn’t have my truck until 104k, so I guess I have to wait for... 10 million?

    Replaced air filter and yanked out the secondary filter while I was in there. Sharp chisel and a palm-blow made easy work of the melted rivets.

    Then I swapped the cabin filter. Only had truck for 6k miles so I'm getting around to things. Want to change fluids soon as I have no record of their age (diffs, transfer case and trans)
