If you look closely at the 2001 S2000 Brochure you will notice that the car they use in the pictured had the calipers painted black.

When I painted mine I took the advice of another board member and spent a few hours cleaning them and making the surface smoothe using a wire brush attachment on an electric drill.

Black is probably the best colour. The calipers are very difficult to clean without removing the wheels. They fill up with brake dust quite quickly.

I think im going to get some silver engine laquer and paint mine silver as I have a silverstone colour car, if it comes out looking naff... i'll just re do it in black... only costs about

Looks like Team Spugen do a kit with Wilwood calipers at a good price. see http://forums.s2ki.com/forums/showthread.p...&postid=1584778

Has anyone stopped to wonder if there might be a potential warranty issue if paint has been lashed all over them before a brake problem could show up?
I agree that the original finish goes dingy after a couple of seasons. I cleaned mine up by gently wire-brushing the crud off completely and then polishing up with Solvol-Autosol afterwards.
They now look very smart and shine in the sunlight.

This has been covered before - it's a very real risk. Honda declined to deal with it as warranty work when the brakes on the Vehicle-Formery-Known-As-The-Macamobile seized, claiming that it was a direct result of the calipers having been painted. Rog (arsie) had to shell out from his own pocket to rectify the problem.

I have been reading and searching for the best part of the last three hours regarding making mods to my car. I have yet to come across a replacement for the OEM callipers both front and rear. I do not want any performance increase/decrease or weight saving. All I want to do is change the callipers for visual appeal without modifications but would be willing to buy new pads. Anyone have any luck with this? I mist stress I don't want a kit with pads, discs, mounts etc just straight swap callipers.
