Japanese brakes for a Japanese car lol

well they have a great reputation

i knew i was eventually going to FI so i wanted 6 pot brakes

and their blue

i looked at Brembos.Stoptech,Rotora ,and Wilwood

i heard that rotoras were cheaper made versions of stoptech and im not looking for cheap version of anything having to due with brakes

wilwood i heard werent that great either

and the brembos well whenever i think of them i think of red and it just wouldnt look right

on a blue car
