Brembo Brake Paint
 

So I have a Subaru WRX STi that has brembo brakes very similar in color to the brembo brakes on the GTR. I have also noticed that if you swap out the brake pads and put in track pads (meant to run at much higher temperatures) that the bronze brembo paint gets cooked to a dark brown...I've heard that this was intentionally done by the manufacurer in order to help determine whether or not the warranty should be voided (brown paint=voided warranty). I also think that it could be completely unintentional. Thoughts on the GTR's brake color? :confused:

brownbo's anyone

i thought that it was just a heat issue and not intentional

i used to prefer red, but that's overplayed these days

I'm also of the crowd that says it was unintentional. I guess I was surprised to see the same color on the GTR as the Subaru. Personally, I wish it was black...hard to burn black. :smilie_th

Unintentional. Some colors are better than others, and even amongst evos, some years are better than others on the same red color. This is why I prefer black or silver since those two dont seem to be affected as much

Silver calipers look great, imho...

I agree...:smilie_th

Red would stand out better IT.

yeah i agree

but don't you think that it's a bit overdone these days?

YES! Any color is better than red IMO...
