Daggerit Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 Just did mine this week, I had the same issue choosing but went with blue in the end and don鈥檛 think it looks bad.

TomsFocus Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 It's personal preference whether you like then against deep impact I guess...聽 I'd go for it if you're wanting a fairly subtle look.聽 Or gold for a slightly more noticeable look... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pandaman Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 Rule of thumb is: Blue calipers: great for hot weather as they ensure cool brakes and icy temperatures (do not use in cold weather as they can freeze up) Red calipers: make the car much faster, but the brakes get hotter (using it hot weather can damage the brakes and they can actually explode) Orange: these add medium speed, but do not get as hot (can use in any weather safely) White: these are slightly cooler, but not as icy as blue calipers - a good allrounder Green: these provide good all-round use and are eco-friendly with reduced brake dust emission and increased MPG 聽 Other colours are untested 聽 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
