2006 Corvette

Getting a big brake kit soon I think, debating between three different colors - black, red, or blue. What do you guys think? I tried to find some pics of similar c6's but couldn't find any black ones with black wheels and calipers.

I'm sort of leaning towards the blue, I think it's a nice contrast on the black.

Is that what i think it is behind the vette?

If you are going to make use of the brakes then get black, since the calipers will start turning from red to brown to black anyways.

I was wondering that too, do the stockers fade at all anyway? Id throw some better pads on and be done.

I have really nice pads for the track, I think they're carbotech, but I've never used them.

I'll be honest, I probably won't see that much difference (for the one or two times a year the car sees a road course). I could upgrade to z51 rotors which are about an inch wider diameter but use the same calipers, just a different bracket. However, I found a sweet deal on a complete z06 brake setup with just a couple thousand miles on them, and it's basically the same cost as buying new z51 rotors and brackets. So I think I'm going with the 6 piston sweet looking approach, ricer style.

The come stock red, so maybe I'll just leave them that way, and if I don't like it, I can paint them next winter.

better looking is always ricer, what you gonna be working on this weekend?

[asshanson]

Pinning the crank and then putting the crank pulley and front end stuff back together. Also painted the intake mani black and putting that back on.

I was hoping for a ride. :(

I vote red on the calipers, call me a ricer.
