Completely agree. It just wasn't that important at the time though.

I was just messin a bit I agree on that, those colors go very good together. I would prefer to have mine red, would go nice with my car as I have red stitches and red seat belts.

this is a late report of my having changed all four of my once red(ish?!) calipers to the brilliantly "new to me" argento gray. this involved obviously a rebuild of many of the associated parts ( dampers/boots/seals etc ) though many depending upon condition are reusable, which i have done. here is one wheel. ya seen one? ya seem em all
( yes, i managed to remember to replace the missing lugs prior to buttoning it all up. this was while bleeding!.. but thx in advance to any who WOULD'VE pointed this out lol )

thx to jsadecca8 (user name) on the 6 for a brilliantly well executed job done well.

Picked up my car from Speed Gallery yesterday:

CSF radiators and hoses
New SACHS clutch kit with Aasco LWFW (replaced the puck race clutch kit and the dual mass flywheel, these are for sale)
New rotors and pads F & R
Brake bleed
On/off switch for the Coolbox

No caliper rebuild at this time.

Just wanted to brag that I located a pair of brand spanking new Michelin PS2's in GT2 sizes to replace my worn out rears....315/30/18!

Yes, I'm running factory GT2 wheels and love them. They look identical to those beauties in Rob's photo above.
