just got my brembo stickers in the mail from ebay they look good. i need to get some clear coat and i should be set to repaint my calipers.... red going with red and white lettering, should stand out nice with the drilled/slotted rotors

cant decide between black and red calipers... what do you think looks good rissa? you have a black car

i told the guy it redlines at 6500 but he hit the rev limiter and let off, they red lined just about every car when i was there haha

i told video of my car and my buddy's focus 2005 ST 2.3l

I thought about doing red, I was going to get them powdercoated but I didn't want to have the car down for another few days. Hmm I'm going to probably paint my rears a dark dark gray to match the front ones at least. If you have a red/black theme going on then i say red.

Too many people have red, so that's why I left mine the way they are.

If you do that, you should get a red pin stripe around your wheels if they're black.
