Brake Calipers
Hello friends. I am wondering if anyone can recommend any strong performing and good looking brake calipers for my 2018 ES 350. I have just purchased a new set of wheels. I decided, in the end, to go with a set of Motegi MR159 Battle V in Obsidian Blue. These are currently on order. I think that they should look great on my Black Graphite Metallic ES. I decided to go with the blue wheels instead of the chrome ones that I originally had intended to buy. I think that these will be the better choice.
But now I am wanting to update my rotors and calipers. I have ordered some R1Concepts ELine Black Drilled and Slotted Rotors for the front and back. Now I am looking for some advice as to what Calipers might work well and look great at the same time. I know that as far as performance goes, people recommend using Toyota Highlander/Tundra? brakes for the ES. But I’m also looking for nice looking coloured Calipers.
I am attaching a stock pic of one of the new wheels that I’ve ordered for those of you that might be interested. These are a new model wheel by Motegi.

Don't do slotted or drilled rotors on an ES. You will hear them, and it will bother you. Unless you plan on driving your car hard to the point of autocross, you will see no definite return from them
The Highlander calipers/rotors/pad setup is a direct bolt-on to the front hubs of the ES. Much more reliable cheaper option to the ES compared to the OEM setup that the ES came with. That will provide better stopping power than any drilled/slotted ES-sized rotor in general (larger diameter brakes).
