I had the black and silver on my car . . . i thought it looked a little better. But if you happen to maybe paint your calipers red, that might actually accent it very nicely

yea listen to conekiller. stoptech has an amazing, perfectly balanced, product. brembo is a great brake manufacturer but as they've been picked up by so many OEMs they get a top of the world stigma about them that isn't true. i think endless with their 10piston brakes would take that badge!
i talked to stoptech a while ago with some interest on a BBK and i think 12-1300 was the price for the front, 6 piston setup. but it could be less

Stoptech's BBKs are SOOOOOO nice....I had them on my A4 and I absolutely beat the living tar out of them at Road Atlanta and never had to deal with fade. I had more fun slowing down than doing 130 on the back straight. Changing pads couldn't be easier either...two allen bolts to remove the bridge and they slide right out the back. I had pad changes down to 30 minutes. When I had Z06 drivers telling me I was going deeper into turns than they were, I knew the kit was the right choice
For the money you absolutely can't score a better brake kit...no way no how.
