Think so? Lots of people have Red calipers which is why I kinda turned away from the idea. It would look good tho with the black letters huh?

Definitely, and I'll explain why...

Stoof has a red car, so having red brakes would be wayy too much red. He needs the contrast, especially since he contrasted the rest of his car so well.

You have basically the same color scheme, except opposite. Therefore, the contrast would look that much better.

Gamedog I have the same basic color them as you do, so I think I'll PC black (down the road) and paint the rotor hats and edges black as well. Lettering in either silver or maybe red. Probably silver.

i dunno i was looking at my car the other day, and the brakes are the only thing thats still silver, everything else is red or black, and behind a black wheel, i think black brakes arent noticeable at all, i really think red is the way to go.

I'm going for stealth and a monochromatic black scheme. I'll leave standing out for the youngsters. Maybe too much black? Dunno. We'll see...
