mmmmm....Brembos

Got my brembos a few days ago...I love them so much...no hard braking yet because I have to brake them in...I love how they look. It is the 14 inch kit. Here are some pics:

yummy. Great choice. Too bad you picked silver, can't really see them through the spokes of the rims.

I was thinkin red...just because its stereotypical like a red ferrari but I thought it would look MUCH cleaner if it matched my paint and I thought I would grow tired of the red. I think I made the right choice. I dont want my brakes to stick out that much plus a 14.1" rotor sticks out enough on its own.

They look hot.

I'd have a hard time choosing between the red and silver. I like both.

Welcome to my struggle but I think I made the right choice I always like things understated because it looks classier...but then I didn't get brembos to make my car look classy hehe

very very nice. I like the silver caliper look. Blue ones would look sweet, too, but I'd leave them alone unless you're planning on doing some more drastic styling to the car. :0)

I got them installed by Troy at Group 5 motors here in San Diego. He got me an excelent price 2800 for new parts pretty amazing. Install was about 400 and he painted my rear calipers and put some brembo rotors in them as well so my car doesn't look akward. I still haven't fully broken them in yet have about 190 and I think I am gonna wait till 300 comes by. Thanks for the compliments guys
