Also in to find Caliper brand and availability of replacement seals. They looks like Brembo replacements but it's always good to ask.
I believe they are Porsche Calipers. Anyways its a great price for the package especially when you consider he has allowed different rotor sizes to fit different wheel sizes.
Very smart move.

I was thinking the same regarding type of caliper. Radial mounted calipers will let you rock various rotor sizes with different spacers

Subscribing for this info. Also looking forward to a template! Those don't look like an OEM brembo design though. Also curious as to the piston diameters, as that will help determine brake bias changes.

Definitely not a porsche caliper. The porsche brembo calipers have never used the bolted two-piece design that these use. They are cast monoblock. Stoptech uses the bolted two-piece design like these.

Fingers crossed the calipers are from a reputable company!

I'm wondering if that green is like the current STI green calipers, nitro-ish. That'd be an awesome contrast with molten orange

There are actually many different Calipers used by Porsche over the years on different models I was just doing a search and seeing that. Not all are cast monoblock. Another brake that also looks very similar is the EVO 4 pots which I believe were factory Brembo’s . Also Sumitomo 4 piston Calipers . Though the lines are in the right place for a Porsche and Ron was talking about adapting Porsche 4 piston Calipers to our cars over a year ago.

Would love to see a source or photo of a porsche brembo caliper that is two piece.

The fact he lists the 300mm rotors as fitting 16s gives me hope my SVT front rotor conversion and brembo calipers will fit a 16. It’s all gonna come down to whether or not that caliper is too big.

If I didn’t already have this kit ready to install though, I’d for sure be looking at these for my car. Great price.

I'm stuck in a meeting so I'm looking up like Calipers.

Here are 02-17 WRX STI calipers. Also Note that EVOs use the same calipers:

Porsche 986 calipers commonly used on civics:

Another common swap is the CTS-V caliper swap:

I saw that Porsche caliper swap on Gears and Gasoline EK9 Civic video. Pretty cool that they work
