I believe 69TA is selling a kit of Bremobs for 4th Gens. The brakes in question by the OP is something pieced together. He is using Brembos off of a 5th Gen Camaro and rotors off of a Z06. CTS-V Brembos can be used as well but keep in mind those massive brakes dont fit under many wheels unless their custom. A spacer is almost always needed to make them fit.

Jetstream blue=looks odd with Navy Blue IMO
Black=Looks too subtle and undefined for me, many times just looks dirty
Silver=Looks like stock, blends with wheel, boring
Red=Really defining color in a dark wheel well

I just feel like red looks so out of place on a car with no other red on it. Plus everyone does red. IMO ZR1 blue is a nice shade that pops but still isnt red or yellow that screams look at me. Im very excited to do that blue on my NBM car. Hopefully this weekend itll be done and ill get pictures up..

Is there any other bright blue on your car? How will this look more in place than red?

It will kinda just look like someone didn't get the colors matched correctly IMO.

I dont, you have a point. But IMO blue is more subtle on an NBM car than bright red. Also the OP wheels are a little different than mine. I have 10 spoke mesh wheels, the OPs calipers are very easily seen with the thin 5 spokes. Ill post up pictures so we have some real proof instead of speculation..

Good call. As soon as people see it, I bet they will like it too.
NBM and Jet Stream Blue are both shades of blue, (different shades whereas one is a dark blue and the other a light blue, obviously), but yet still blue. That will give the car some contrast in my opinion. I bet it looks killer! Good luck man.
