black sorta gets lost behind the tires since they are black. It will definitely not be noticeable behind your black rims and your spoke design. Here is a picture of my BBK for reference.

The AP Racing BBK comes in red/black if that is what you decide you like the most.

Tim your brakes get me every time so damn nice. What would it cost to replace the pads on your setup

Unless its deeply etched, and the filled with paint, I think your best bet is Red with the White letters. Let us know!!

Red looks sharp, but make sure you look at the Rotora's red in person. I got mine and I'm a bit disappointed in the shade of red. It's a red with a hint of orange in it. I definitely like the deep red of the StopTech's better. Just something to be aware of...

I like the red on mine. They are bright but I don't see any orange on them.

Thanks

I have no idea. Since the fronts have 6 pads each I bet they are not cheap!

Agreed with everyone else; red calipers with white lettering is the best combination to have both your calipers and the brand noticed.
