Default Color choice vote........

I think I may finally fork over for a BBK to fill out my new Volks. I am looking at the AP Racing 13.1 inch front set, and they come in either black or red. I have a black Z and can't decide if I want the calipers to match the car, or to standout Ferrari style with red........

Cool They wiil both look GREAT!

If it is a 'must' having your big brake calipers stand out, then simply go with the Red versions. Obviously, performance-wise there is no difference.

For consistency, some may want to choose the black brake calipers if their rims are black as well.

Uhhhh, just go with the RED!

Lightbulb Honestly...

if I was going to spend that much money on something, especially considering it's such an upgrade from stock, I would go red. Wait...make that red with spotlights and speakers attached just to remind everyone how fast my *** can stop.

Go Red...black will blend in too much. Spending that much money might as well get performance and the bling factor.

Black if you don't want to worry about cleaning them and a dark look. Red if you want everyone to know that you have some mad stopping powa!
