The good thing about the Essex kit in the looks department is that they flow well with the rear stock setup since they are both not painted and they don't look "unbalanced" since they aren't a huge BBK. IMO the painted look alway have looked to flashy and hard anodized has always looked great "raw". Plus I believe paint on calipers can diminish the cooling effect

Another point I want to make and hopefully someone with more knowledge then me can chime in is that even tho the STI calipers are bigger and can handle more heat, it's kind of a after thought. Cooling should happen with the rotors and less heat on calipers since heat will wear the boot/seals/etc faster
