Damn, this feels like a horse race. I keep checking back and Brembo started with the lead and then P-Mu's took the lead... As of now.. it look like Brembo's in the lead at 17 vs 16. AHHHH!!!! I'm gonna tear my hair out!

just a quick clarification in case some of you are thinking i'm gonna be paying ove 3k for the p-mu's.... The cost on either set will be about the same... i wonder if this changes any opinions... hmm..

Hey Eternity
I see you were up on a decision betweet Brembo and the P-Mu's, were you actually able to purchase a kit from Brembo, cuz before at had my rotors built I had actually called Brembo at the time to see if the had a kit or would do one for my car and they told my that it was a no go and werent sure if they would ever do one? That was back in February though.

Well thats cool, I was upset when I couldnt get them at the time, but I am very impressed with the brakes I have now, cant wait to see yours on, I've actually punched em full twice already, once I almost hit a deer on a windy road, I swear I thought I was gonna die cuz he didnt even move and I was doin like 70. And the other time a car crossin the road didnt see me and almost hit him hard from the side. I can definitely tell the difference.

I've always like the look of the Mu calipers... I think red has been overdone considerably.

OK... I'm like 2 weeks behind in ordering these things an this damn poll is confusing me!!! AHHHHH!!!! It keeps splitting down the middle.. I think I'm leaning toward the graphite Project MU (Endless costs WAY too much). We'll see soon.. Gonna flip a coin one of these days.. Thanks for all the input guys!

Don't do RED, Red is too Rice/Sporty.

IMO, with your black wheels and white color of your car, subtle is the way to go. Brembo red, while looks good on a Porsche or a Ferrari, just would not look good on your Lexus. Red is so over played. Silver, given the color choices you laid out, is the best option. What would really make the silver calipers standout is if the lettering was in black. That would look soooooo sweet!! Best of luck!!
