I will be tracking my car soon and like the red over the brown too. Haha. What have dealers been saying about calipers turning brown/black. Anyone go into to a dealer and get them replaced or denied?

I'm sure the dealers would just laugh, they know what causes that.

Rotora will be coming out with a Titanium Series that will be for track cars.

This has a titanium finish with racing piston springs, racing spring clips, upgraded track pads and the finish will not turn black with the excessive heat.

Please email me for information.

Wait you mean we are not suppose to buy it, drop some chrome rims and standing next to it, with our collars popped and hat turned sideways, in a parking lot with other ricers late at night?

I think the main issue is going to be whether or not the paint actually peels on these brembo's. That just looks awful. Hopefully mitus learned a lesson after replacing millions of dollars worth of brembo's on VIII's and IX's.
