The reviews look promising, but I couldn't find any installed pictures

nah. I saw those but they were red. It's definitely a good deal on the parts though. I can't have red calipers with gold wheels on a white car. Barf color combo. Hahahah. I got everything from AHparts.com , The junkyard out in CA. They only do Acura/Honda. Got a really good price on shipping too. Just email them and ask for a combined shipping quote if you get more than 1 item.

Good point. What I like about the calipers is that they are powdercoated. I'm not a huge fan of red either, even though it will not fade like the red epoxy caliper paints from autozone.

Yeah, it was hard to pass them up since they are already coated and a great price. If they had a black option I bet they would sell tons. I got the front calipers for $40 each and the rears for $25 each. Leaves plenty of room to pay for getting them coated in black once they get here.

And parts just got here:
New front calipers. New rear calipers. New rear knuckle/spindle assemblies.
The rears even came with OEM pads in them! They look pretty decent. I'll probably end up using them. Also, FREE BRAKE LINES!!!!
The new front calipers are massive. Still a single piston, nothing like a fancy Brembo, but a huge increase in pad size and heat capabilities.
Comparison:
Much bigger caliper. It's hard to see but the piston itself it visibly larger too.
Just gotta buy new front lines, fluid, rotors, front pads, and new rear e-brake cables. That should be it.....
