need opinions on fstb and brake caliper colors

what brand or where can i get a fstb that you would recommend? i hear any ebay one will be okay. also, what color brake calipers would look good on my car? i have a white 95 and white kosei rims (blue lettering). i was deciding between black, blue, or mebbe silver. what do you guys think.

i got the ebay FSTB recently and felt almost no difference. It's $30 so I wasn't expecting much, but I feel almost no change at all...

I have an ebay fstb and it works fine. I dont see much of a difference between those and a Stillen one. As for the calipers, I've got a white max too and I'm getting white rims. I'm planning on painting my calipers a deep blue, like Ford blue engine paint. Just my taste.

Blue looks hot, but try silver on a white car, also a FSTB doesnt do much, so just get the Ebay one...Its mainly for looks

A FSTB did a lot for my car. Stiffened the front end to make steering a bit quicker and balanced the cornering load across the tires instead of just the outside one, reducing understeer. Best cheap handling mod there is.

ya, i think i wuz plannin on tryin the old ford blue engine enamel on the calipers, since i already painted my valve cover that color. i guess we'll c. if the blue gets old, i suppose i can always change the color. i think black and silver are very neutral, but i guess some ppl may think it's plain.
