I like red too. Maybe black with blue brembo letting would be pretty sweet

red

[Murlo26]

I'm going to say Red too. But the blue is a close second.

[Halon]

I vote red as well.

[simulatedwood]

I vote black, If you plan on tracking this bitch that's the color they are going to turn anyway.

[GsXtUrBo98]

Red

[tehehodi]

I will vote black, but since they are brembos, RED!

Black if you want to go for that gangster murdered out look on the real. HAHA j/k.

[turbotalon1g]

black, blue, red. I hate red but they do belong on 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?

[Shane@DBPerformance]

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.

[asshanson]

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.

[turbotalon1g]

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.

[turbotalon1g]

I was hoping for a ride.

[scheides]

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