Poll: What Color Caliper for StopTech BBK? (Read Completely!)
OK Colorado... The time has come. After two HPDE/track days at PMI, two SCCA Autocrosses, multiple runs down the drag strip, spirited mountain cruises and daily driving, the OEM StopTech Stage II brake kit is done! So, I will be buying a big brake kit in the next couple months. I'm sold on the StopTech four wheel kit; Front: 355x32mm Slotted, Zinc coated Rotor/ 4-Piston Caliper & rear: 328x28mm Slotted, Zinc coated Rotor/ 2-Piston Caliper. It's the color choice I'm still, kinda, in the air about. The three colors I can choose from are; Red, Black, & Silver.
Pros & Cons of each color...
-Red:
--Pro: Can be seen well behind the black wheels. Easier to come by, pretty much no wait.
--Con: Very common, everyone has. Brake dust will effect color. Rumor to discolor under heavy use/heat.
-Black: (*I'm leaning toward Black)
--Pro: Not common color, no copy catting. Cleaning will be easier.
--Con: Might not be as noticeable behind wheels
-Silver:
-Pro: Not a common color. Can be seen behind wheels.
-Con: Known to discolor under heavy use/heat. Brake dust will effect color.
Most everyone has seen my car: Pic Link. Vote on what color you think I should get and tell me why. Please don't leave dumb responses; "Cause that's what I have." or "The other colors suck." etc...

With that car and those wheels, ya gotta go with black. People are going to look twice at those wheels (I know I did) -- and they will definitely see the black BBK. More subtle and moe unique.

If you asked me this question a year ago, I would've said black. Now I'm leaning towards red. If you're going to pay that much money, you might as well show them off. Although with red, you have to keep them clean because it tends to look crappy with some brake dust

I guess if I were to spend so much money on a BBK, I'd make sure to make the bling stand out with red like almost everyone else.
Although I voted for black, it's something different from the rest.
It also depends on your wheels. As for your meisters, black on black, I'd probably go with red.
