I need some help deciding which BBk to get

Im in the process of buying a BBK for my car but Im having trouble deciding which one to get and what color to get. The two that Im looking into are Rotora and Stoptech.

Rotora's standard colors are Red and Blue

And this is my car currently




Im in love with the Blue from Rotora and im pretty sure it will look good on my car. One reasone I dont want to go with red is that everybody and their moms has red bbk or paints their stock brakes red..Both companies are pretty reputable so it pretty much comes down to color....So, please help me decide which color to get that will look great on my car.

Thanks guys

Hmm good choices, black looks really stock, and yeah everyone has red although it looks good in my opinion. Blue i think would look best and would be unique too and silver will compliment the rest of your trim. I vote for blue though!

Are you planning to go with 13 or 14inch BBK? Besides stopping quicker, it is going to look sick with your setup. I think either blue or red will look good. But because your car is black, I will give red an edge over the blue. Black/red combo looks hot.

I would have said this as a contrast, but I actually thought that the silver would make it look stock like it is now. So I just agreed on the blue (cuz it's mmy fave color as well). Besides, I like unique, and I don't ever remember seeing anyone rolling with blue on black!

Silver or blue??? Atleast we've helped you get your choice down to 2

I have painted candy blue calipers on my ASM TL and people are always complimenting me on those. That's why I personally prefer the blue it's different (unique). However, you have to factor in the color of your car and rims...

I suggest taking a sideshot of your rims and have someone photoshop all the colors on your car. That will give you a better idea.

Im not sure yet, I havent really decided....I know if I get the bigger rotor, Im lookin at $2000 But I figure if Im goning to spend this much, I might as well pay a little more and get something better...So, If I choose the Rotora, i will go with the 14inch

Thanks for all the replies, but Im still tied between the two...If I go Rotora, I will get the blue....If I go Stoptech, I will get the red. For some reasone I dont want to go with the Silver because it will look stock or it wont be noticable






Actuall, that looks really nice!!!

Both companies produce a good BBK, so it comes down to the color
