Looking For: Silver Caliper StopTech BBK Owners
Can you please post pictures of your kit installed. Found someone's Brembos painted silver and would like to see the StopTech kit in silver. Looking at purchasing the 14" (355mm) 6-pot (F) & 4-pot (R) kit. Just want to make sure silver is what I want. Thanks!!!

The silver is a great looking color. Since silver is a special order, there is a lead time for any bbk with silver calipers. Also if you plan on tracking your car a lot it would be better to go with red or black calipers. They stand up to the heat better.

Given enough heat, any color caliper from any company will start to change, with exception to black. Heat tends to turn things darker, so the dark colors don't change as much. The lighter colors tend to be more sensitive to heat.

Robert, how's it going? Having fun in the sun? I'm looking at silver Stoptech's as well, but the 332mm front and ST20 calipers in the rear for track days and Time Trial use. I'm tired of my stock brakes overheating and fading out. Or melting piston boots. Anyways, nice choice for brakes. Can't wait till you're back,
Will

Brembo's anyone?
