big brake swap

[Uberck]

i am thinking of doing a big brake swap. i am unsure weather i should paint the caliper red or yellow. which one would give maximum cooling and performance? what you think? also should i get the cross drilled big rotors or the slotted for maximum cooling. what you guys think

wow man i dunno, color is the most important thing for brake swaps and this one is just way over my head!

yea man like i really dream of being a big drifter to show off my whip i already have the drifting lights and colorful wires i am just waiting to do my MAC truck brake swap and paint them for performance and my 747 wing for extra downforce

I'd say red... because I don't like yellow... unless your car's red... or yellow... then I'd pick neither or you'll look like a Mc40

However... the only performance impact it really might have is on the ladies... but probably not... they're better with colors anyway so I'd ask them

The drilled and slotted question is a good one... but a better one is what do you want to use the car for first off?

There is a good chance a standard Z32 setup with an excellent pad will do very well for you... for most people I'd recommend plain (due to pad life being reduced with a slot setup)... but here's a good ref article from the company who makes my brakes:

I have slotted (mine is currently a track car/street car with a bias toward track since it's not a DD ) due to the vary reason there is a warning about drilled in this article. You are introducing a lot of localized stress concentrations with holes... just isn't smart if you ask me
