    no special fixture needed. any shop worth taking it to knows how to do it.

    Of course they will need to make a fixture if they do it right so there will be a centered and uniform starting and stopping point and way to mount it level to the milling table. All Im saying is programming and setup at any cnc shop isn't going to be cheap.

    Honestly they could be sanded of easily then powder coated. The lettering is very shallow.

    The "sides" of the caliper are parallel, and the caliper is identical L to R. Just has to be blocked to the table, and the start datum is dynamic anyways. Reguardless, this is pointless argument, I could offer custom laser etching and people still wouldn't buy in. I was lucky to get 4 the first time around.

    If people are on the fence about these I say go for it. I've been very happy with them. Used them on the NG road course and they didn't fade at all. The last 2 years at BRG I overheated my stock 2nd gen brakes but this year I hammered on the brakes harder than ever and they never faded in the least.


    Edit: Oh, one thing though, don't wash the car then just put it up without driving around and heating the brakes a little. I did this and the pads that came with them rusted the rotors. I picked up a little vibration but after some hard use it cleared up.
