Had to wait for those red lug nuts. As soon as I got them, I had it installed right away.

I do plan to lower it a bit soon. The only question is "How soon?" Hopefully, not too long. :burnrubber:

I'll probably paint the calipers when I install the springs.:burnrubber:

If you really want to paint it... try black only. For reasons, I don't suggest any other colors.

Finally !!! Got over 1000 miles. Took me almost 4 months. So, while waiting for the 4th of July fireworks, got busy modifying my toy. I decided to go with Brick's suggestion to leave the caliper as is. Followed Chris07LB's suspension springs DIY which made it a lot easier. Took a little over 2 hours with a 20 mins. lunch. Came out pretty decent. Gave my Yaris a new look.

I've always wanted a 2.5rs...

Anyway, I think it'd be a good idea to paint the calipers, even if it's the same color as stock, to protect em from getting grungy and rusty down the line. Unless they already come painted/protected..

When I replace the calipers on my '2 they're getting painted silver or black before they're installed. Same goes for the edges of my disk brakes (no drums on mr2s)

Nothing to do on a Sunday afternoon. Decided to paint my calipers... red (to match the lip, lugs and air valve cover). Will post photos from a far soon.
