Yup, same here. As soon as I graduate college in May of '06 and get a way better job that pays around $16-$17, for the field i'm going into. I am deffinately moving out of my parents house.

Unless you have a pretty fast track car, I dont think they are worth it.

They are worth every penny. Best modification Ive done to my car.

rather than painting your brakes, I have found that the paint wears badly so I took mine off and appart and had them powder coated. This has so far proved to be beyond better than paint because not only is it more resistant to wear but also resists brake dust and does not get dirty at all

Ya powder coat. Thats what I meant. My bad.

Hmm, powder coating. Good idea. I had used caliper paint on my new calipers and it looks great and all, won't chip or whatever. BUT!, No matter how good the paint is, brake fluid will still eat it right off there. So there's another advantage to powder coating.
