I have red calipers.

And yes those are 20" wheels and the 15" 12-pots are still that big.

Like others said... only if you have a big brake kit. When I put my M45 19's on, I painted everything black...

Wait no longer my friend! I am here to steal all the thunder I can!



OK, so back on topic. I don't think the oem calipers look good in red. If you want to paint them go with silver or gold. It looks clean without trying to be too racy.

Here are my old RB 13" rears with the oem caliper painted just to give you an idea.

Four sets of 20's (Zenetti Fives, Sevas S-55's, Volk GT-C, and now iForged Aeros), one set of oem coupe forged 19's (still have these as spares) and my oem sport 17's which I just sold because they won't fit my brakes.

But I do agree that red stock calipers/rotors all around would not look good.


Here are the old fronts.

^ Ya matching the stock rears to those bad-*** fronts is definitely rice-exempt.

I do! 17k OTD seems like a decent deal. I found one for 16.9k OTD with a nismo kit with spoiler. But I want a coupe since my insurance is the same.

Hey I painted my stock calipers gold, but my car is Garnet Fire and I think it looks great! Painting stock calipers is ok IMO. +1 on silver or gold. Damn TTRANK you make me want to take that step too!
