Um, you mean stock calipers? Red stock calipers won't do ****...

Now if you're talking Porsche calipers then SEARCH... lots of info here.

The A8/TT upgrade works too, and if you want them red... paint them.

do u want to paint them of get actual performance Big Brake Kits (BBK)
painting them red doesnt do anything for stoping power and they will look better but they wont look anywhere as good as a true BBK

well you could paint yours red with a caliper painting kit, go to like autozone or pep boys.. anywhere has it, i used duplicolor... or just search the internet, and for a bit better stopping you can upgrade your pads and rotors maybe

i bbk is usaully gonna be pretty well over a thousand, and if you bought porshce calipers they wouldnt work with your rotors, painting is the best, i bet you can even get it done if you dont feel like the work
