*I can hear it now, why does it cost so much? The answer right upfront is simply, it takes a long time to do...first the wheel/tire need to come off, the brake caliper needs to be removed from the rotor, then the paint needs to be heated *carefully*, and then finally its rolling time...NO DOUBT ABOUT IT, IT'S A PROCESS.

If you own a STi, it is charged as an Upgraded Service...
If you have stock 1 piston calipers, its charged as an OEM Service.
yes, yes I know I worded it wrong, its been corrected on the website.

Ok, stupid question: why does it cost more to take off brembo calipers than WRX OEMs? It's actually less work and easier to remove them.
Oh, good price regardless btw.
