    Compbrake calipers

    Anyone got any experience of these, specifically the Porsche replacements?

    they look like Brembo copies or remanufactures?

    Thery seem like a good deal, but are they comparable to Big Reds or 996 monos performance / fitment wise?

          i have it on good authority that the comp brake calipers are made by brembo, are brand new not re-manufactured and equal quality to the brembo marked calipers

                coolio - these seem like really good value.

                Are they the same as RS2 Big Reds then?

                      How long do two piece callipers normally last before they suffer the corrosion issues?

                      found the kit for the s2

                      cost just under a grand, it also has discs with bells

                        One of these options must be big reds

                          By the look of it these are equvalent to "little reds" with 40 / 32mm pistons......... AFAIK the 993 Big Reds had 44 / 36mm pistons?
