Default New Brakes!! (Pic's)

Hey guys
Just want to post some pic's of the new front brakes, rears are on their way....

Brembo Gran Turismio Kit
and repalced rotors with larger 14.2 in. two piece versions

Made a huge difference in the way that the car handles (any vibration that was present before is now goine) Rock solid feel.....oh and it stops better too....

when with red calipers but started to second guess.....maybe should have gone black or silver....but love them anyway.....

here some pics,

take care

Paul

Looks great. I am getting ready for summer and want to do the brakes as well. I will be picking your brain.

actually paul, personally i would have gotten the black. i have ap racing 6 pots on my gs4 and i went with black, it's more subtle and people can still see it. i think on the sc430 the black looks better

but of course, the red just sticks out VERY well. you can't complain

If I paint all the wheel spokes to black, I will choose the Black color for the caliper; otherwise, RED looks outstanding.

On a black car, I like the red. If the black calipers are as glossy as that red, I think it might be too much black. I've seen black cars with matted black calipers and that looks pretty good too, more understated. Silver would be even more understated and will give the car a classier feel. Still, the sporty red looks great too.
