Red calipers?
Just wondering if you guys have any good suggestions for red calipers for the rx-8? Not looking for very expensive ones, they just gotta be as good as the stock ones. I want them for the looks

Not looking for expensive ones? Don't bother then. Good brakes cost money and you want them for the wrong reasons.
You could just paint the stock ones, but red sliding calipers look retarded.

Lol I didn't say I want crappy brakes but I want same quality as stock ones or higher... Don't get me wrong. I have bad experiences with painting them as it fucked up my friend's calipers when he did it. Please, help me getting some decent ones and yes I know it's quite expensive but I really want them in red.

Dunno why they got fucked up. After a while they started making horrible squeaking noises and starting lagging. It's not for sure it was the paint's fault, but the possibility is high. Can anyone link me to something they can recommend? Couldn't find OE's homepage.

what kind of car did your friend have? As long as you dont' take the caliper apart to paint it and get paint in places it shouldn't go....you should be fine!

There's a reason why all the bad *** brakes are painted red or gold. Because they perform good enough to deserve being red or gold. Fortunately there are no red brake kits designed for posers.
