To be honest ive always liked black callipers, but im just so spoilt for choice... i think yellow or red would look great against dark grey, but might stand out a bit too much and wont suit my car. Im definitely leaning towards the black like you.. do you have any pics of yours? Did you clear coat yours too?


see "Matts 2.5n/a" in post your mods thread (can't put URLs up for some reason) and there are a few pics there :D

Thanks Matt. I ended up buying the black paint today. After seeing yours I know ive made the right choice. I still think the yellow against a diamond grey car would look great, but would have been too much on my mostly stock exterior.

With those Rims I'd probably go for black also... but in my opinion, some other colours can look OK on these not so pretty calipers:

Actually youre right... they do look good in a colour! It's not too late for me to change my mind... just the cost of a can of paint.

Black will be an easier colour to source in high temp brake paint though :-)

The duplicolor metalcast high temp paint (Mark) used on mine was a bitch to source and had specific application requirements. Let me know if you want me to track down that info.

its funny I was only just recontemplating this same thing, I think ill either go black with some white decals or white with black decals, the brake dust tells me to go black with white decals, but im still tossing up to go white rims with black calipers or black rims and white calipers, I really want white rims but find some of the choices are scares compared to black

will be good to see some more sets of these no so flashy calipers all painted up

I bought the standard subaru ones which i assume are designed for the WRX.
Ill put the front ones on without the 2 outer stripes, but the rears wont fit from what ive seen. Theres no real face on the rear calipers.
