I have an odd proposition for anyone who has changed their stock 4.6is brakes for aftermarket brakes. If you sill have your stock calipers (front and rear) I would like to "borrow" them. What I want to do is powder coat mine. The problem is to do that I have to tear down the brakes, bring the calipers to the powder coater and then wait to get them back. That would be a lot of down time for my vehicle.

I need to have a 2nd set of 4.6is brake calipers to take them to the powder coater and have them ready when I do my brake job. What I propose is to have someone send me their brake calipers, I will have those powder coated for my use, install them on my X, take my "old" brake calipers have them powder coated the color of your choice and send them back to you. You could keep them for future use or sell them to someone.

I was thinking black might look better than red because the X5 calipers are not that great looking (like the Brembos)so the black will draw less attention. Thoughts?

I would be willing to pay all shipping charges. I think it is a fair deal and you benefit from getting your calipers powder coated!!!
