what type of red is Stoptech Red?
I read on another forum that it's called Viper red. Can anyone confirm? On a Melbourne red e9x, better to have brighter red calipers (viper?) or Melbourne to match the car? Thanks.

Better to do brighter or darker red then? I think MR is bright so prolly darker (viper color is “deeper” per online descriptions.

Repeated heat-cycling will change the color. You're pretty much baking the finish. My Corvette's factory Brembos went from bright red to more of a maroon after about a year of track events. Go for silver or black if you will be tracking it. My black StopTechs looked the same even after a year, only visible change was that the StopTech logo had turned slightly yellow from the heat. Then again, if you're not tracking the car, the color should never change. Given that the calipers are not directly next to the paint, a slight difference in the shade of red probably won't even be noticeable. Maybe you can find someone locally with the red StopTechs and see for yourself?
