That looks nice there. I was thinking about going with the red calipers with my laser blue, but really wanted to see what red with blue would look like.

I guess I'm gonna be getting some red paint soon now.

It looks really good.

Can't lower it, sits too low for the streets I live on as is. I'm going to add coilovers for the track, but I'm waiting for a good set to come out. I've gotta keep the stock height for street driving though.

Well, you did it. I've been told countless times to paint my calipers. I went out and got a set of the red paint. I'll be spending some time on that pretty soon now.

I must say that the red calipers go really well with that blue. Awesome!

why does your s/c sit up so high in the back? Usually the s/cs dont sit all that high.

Because it's parked on a fairly steep hill. There is nowhere near that much gap when it's parked on a flat surface.

Here they are for comparison:

On a hill


On more level ground
