pretty!
i think it looks a lot nicer when you match your calipers to something on the car (body, rims, etc) instead of going with some random loud color.
go any pics wit the wheels back on? i'm thinking about ditching my aem's for some race concept rotors (mine are kinda messed up and vibrate under heavy breaking). idk if i can live with goin back to stock size gsx rotors though... kinda curious how they look. i only had tiny RS rotors under my rims before i went to the aem 12.5" ones.

I wish I didn't though away brembo's info sheet on direction that came in the box else I would have just scanned it and posted it.
It said something like this:
It is a common misunderstanding to believe straight cut slotted and drilled rotors' direction is determind by the angle of the cuts on the front.
It is rather determind by the vanes inside the rotor. Post and straight vained rotors are non-directional, but all of Brembo's rotors are directional. The outside most part of the slots or drills should contact the pad first, causing the directional inner vanes to create a vacuum away from the center using centrifugal force (the inside vanes are radiused the opposite direction the slots go). (It had a cut away picture showing all of this)
The only exception to the rule of rotors being deteremind directional by the inside is if they have radius cut slots on the outside.
I tried to find the info sheet on Brembo's website real quick, but no luck. You can however see the cars on Brembo's site and which way their rotors are facing.

It has to do with the hot air w/ internal vained directional rotors. If you have them the wrong way, you will get negitive results, if you have them the right way, you will have positive results.
Brembo did a good job explaining it, take what I said for what it's worth.
I used G2 brush on aircraft brake epoxy (can be bought off ebay). Those rear calipers were painted using the same kind of paint 2 years ago, and hey look, they are still glossy white. The brake dust/dirt can literally be wiped off w/ a rag. It's the same kind of stuff used on factory colored rotors such as on Porches, big brake kits, etc...

White calipers. Do0d. I have always wondered how well that would look. Damn. It looks pretty dope imo. I think I'll still go with the red though. Props to you for sticking to your guns. Those calipers look hawt man.
