Lol, you guys are funny.

Who cares what colour his calipers are? My own Brembo's are dark cherry, what type of guy does that make me? Aha

About the "Brembo overkill for the street" comment, these guys haven't tried a car with the Brembo's or any BBK obviously. The pedal feel/feedback is much better vs the original brakes. It makes a world of difference in the driver pleasure department!

If you don't like them don't look at them, if it bothers you BBK and I will gladly install them in my car.

The fact is you have 2 people who buys BBK's.....one being the hardcore track junky, the other would be the looks monger (which i belong to). The great thing is though one day I WILL track my car and I may end up liking it! If thats the case I'll be set because I have kickass BBK. Now dont get me wrong, Im not saying the stock brakes are horrible or anything like that. I just think they look bad when painted a flashy color (saw a 96 volvo with calipers and the rotor hub painted neon green).

On that I will agree, neon green brakes would look bad even if you had a BBK.

Is a 4 banger, but is nice and fast (don't get me wrong I rather have a Z).

Looks good, I did the same. Now you need to lower that ride about an 1' all around, then you will be ****.

it just doesnt look right. The red shows way too much of the bulky looking stock caliper...not to mention it makes your rotor look smaller than it already is.

exactly, this was my point i was getting across. Feel is not stronger than stock but nowhere near overkill. And its track ready.

I now have StopTech slotted/drilled rotors. Same size obviously, but much cooler looking.

Let me take back my opinion.

Actually, if you have a big brake kit up front and just wanted to color match the stock calipers in the rear, i think thats ok.
