Do NOT buy Power Stop Brake Calipers

I recently purchased a set of red powder coated calipers for my 2008 G35s and I was shocked at the poor quality I received. See photos that show thin layer of coating with base metal showing through, chips and missed spots. I contacted the retailer and they offered me a small credit. I emailed Power Stop and they didn't care. My advice, don't purchase Power Stop unless you want expensive, substandard parts.

Not BBK's (though often confused) because the factory sport brakes are larger than non-sport. These are supposed to be powder coated not painted.

Update

I was able to reach Tina with Power Stop customer service. She was very helpful and is sending a new set of calipers today along with a return shipping label for the old ones. She said she would personally inspect the new set before sending them. I will keep everyone posted.

Me too.

So I checked it out. Connecting the dots, AutoAnything is the vendor, Power Stop is the manufacturer/brand, and StopTech would be OP got confused, probably too pissed off when he typed the thread title and got it mixed up.....
