got some new toys.. caliper question though

Got my Brembo cross-drilled / slotted rotors in today (Thanks kloogy )

Also, I got my Kumho ECSTA KH11's in and installed, wow... I mean honestly, just after driving you can tell a huge difference over those Potenzas

When I install my rotors and such, what kind of paint should I use to paint my calipers? Any certain brand?

I was thinking of going with a bronzish color, but what do you guys think?



And one more thing while I'm at it, hehe... Are stainless brake lines a necessity? I don't go to the track or anything, but just wondering.

Thanks fellas

stainless steel lines will make a difference in any kind of driving. It increases the pedal feel since it doesn't flex like a rubber line does when you apply pressure to the brake.

not a fan of red or yellow calipers. Black would make it look nice and clean!
