Re: '90 ZR-1 brake refurbish options
Thanks for the info! I will check them out! I'm in Medford, NJ (Burlington County). My in-laws are in Malvern so I'm very familiar with the West Chester area. I have a 94 so I have the a-molds on mine. There is some curb rash on both rear wheels. Would love to have them re-done!

Rgr, had curb rash on mine as well. Don't think my wheels had ever been touched, clear coat was peeling, and brake dust and road grime was etched into the barrel. They looked okay from a distance, but up close really showed their age and poor condition. They should stay looking good for a while now, and with the super thick clearcoat on the barrel, hopefully be easy to keep clean of road grime and brake dust.

Finally making progress on front end cleanup. 30 years of grime doesn't want to come off easily.

84/85 center caps fit nicely. Needed to gently tap in to ensure tabs in back engage the lip in the rim.

Re: '90 ZR-1 brake refurbish options
Finally off my butt getting the brake system put back together. New powerstop rotors and new (but used) abs sensors going in (mine had no insulation left), along with DRM SS brake lines.

Re: '90 ZR-1 brake refurbish options
Another of many "while I'm in here's", I ended up pulling out the driver's seat to clean up the rug and gunk out from under it (there was some loose change and petrified french fries, nothing too exotic), and to make acces to the e-brake easier. While I was in there had a look for leaks where the brake pedal penetrates the wirewall, looks okay. Much easier to work down there with the seat removed.

Re: '90 ZR-1 brake refurbish options
Also, lessons learned: flush the brake system before pulling the old calipers off for refurb. I haven't found a clean way to do it without calipers and assoc bleed screws.
