Converting brakes on a 2012

[Agent502]

Hello all,

I have a 2012 Non PP SHO.  The right rear caliper is not releasing completely and figured since I should replace them all, as they may be the originals, to stop here and ask if anyone has converted to the 2013+ brake system?

What all gets replaced, I know the rotors are larger, which I was wanting to upgrade anyways to drilled and slotted.

I would like to have a caliper that is powder coated if possible, as I hate the rusted look I have now.

Thanks for your time and insight!

Mostly it will be personal opinion, like any other debate.  But really the 2013+ brake update is very effective regardless of driving conditions, except for maybe prolonged auto-x'ing.  Those are "extreme" situations.

Power Stop kits make for good DDs, you can step up to EBC rotors & pads (Yellowstuff) for better drag strip capabilities, and of course the ultimate upgrade is Wilwood kits (if even still available).  For racing/prolonged auto-x'ing, best to go with blank high carbon rotors and race duty pads from Carbotech/Porterfield/etc.

I don't think I need to go all crazy with Auto Crossing, so the larger rotors for the 13+ would be great.

Any suggestions on the calipers being powder coated or a brand, other than Brembo?

For the caliper, only that G2 caliper paints are popular & durable if you want to go that route.  Lots of masking, coats, and taking your time should do the trick.
