Brake calipers - what colour ??
I want to change the colour of my brake calipers but i cant decide what would look best ?
i used to have the gold STI alloys on and painted my calipers gold and they matched really well but ive recently changed my alloys and had them powder coated in Subaru gold as on the WRC 's which is a lot darker and now the calipers look really yellowish.
Any suggestions to what would look better will be appreciated ?????

Red works for me, but it all depends how subtle you want to be, black would also be a good contrast but would be more subtle than red
An idea for you...

Funny, thought the topic was brakes?
Those APs look great with the PFs, do you have them fitted Tom?

So the fact that the WR1 came with red calipers makes it a wannabe EVO, I think not

you could get the hawk in that colour but the wr1 is the only blob in that colour,
the wr1 has the same running gear as a narrow track sti plus a dccd.
red calipers are either upgrades or wrx four pots.

It may have been a hawk, but whatever it came new from the dealer with red 4-pots front/2-pots rear - still not trying to be an Evo though
