just because you missed the red brembo's he shouldnt big deal thats
a very lame excuse, people have preferences and choices, your is red let the
man do his own and stop discouraging him, i am gonna do mine regardless of
your personal preferences

^^^ He can do whatever he wants... I could care less. I gave my opinion like he wanted. Enjoy your black calipers.

it depends on the wheel color too..with bronze wheels like that, the black brembos wouldn't stand out...personally i think it looks cool how the brembos stand out when you're parked or driving.

then again, maybe you can paint them black then put the white brembo sticker emblems on so it'll still stand out a little.

after roadracing w/high temp track pads
eventually I had to rebuild my 'Brownbos'
  • powercoated w/high temp blue (matching my blue Samco hoses and blue valve cover)
  • now, yrs later, i regret not going w/ traditional high gloss RED
  • powercoating and color has survived subsequent roadracing very well
