My vote is for black. Ease of maintanence, as you don't need to clean them as often.

Is it true that big red kits are only on the front and the rears are the same calipers as 951 brakes? If I do get big reds I may end up painting them black just because I don't want it so obvious as to what I have, not to mention the whole cleaning bit. Low profile is the way for me. S2nut, Is that the Mister Fusion option on the car in the pic? Be carefull not to go 88 miles per hour...

How about the Honda guys who paint their brake drums red? Now that's serious rice.

The problem is that some people paint their brakes to make them look like something they aren't and others just like red calipers. But how do you tell the two apart?

I prefer stock.
