I think the red looks good. Black if you want to go a bit more subtle. Silver might kinda disappear on your car, but DG might be interesting.

Made brackets out of 3/8 steel. Had the calipers at my disposal and too cheap to buy Akebonos or G/Z Brembos. STi rears are next. No brackets there though.

Thoughts on Polished Calipers??? I'm not big on shiny and hate the chrome on the car as is, but it'd be different.

Are they Brembos, Girling, Nissin, Tokico? I've never seen a set, but they could be the same Brembos Subaru/Mitsu/Cadilac uses.
*edit. i see where you said Brembo already. My bad.*

Christ, I hope not! These ones are massive as it is. The Akebonos are even bigger! Measure the bolt spacing and piston size.
