Default Best prices on Big blacks?

anyone research this lately? I guess I could also go used big reds/blacks if I could find them! (this way the paint would match front/rear perfectly)

Or, anyone have a nice set of used S4's available??

Mark.

I have a full set of S4 calipers. One front caliper is brand new, never mounted. Other 3 are used, could use a re-paint if you want concours look. Send me a pm if interested.

if your going new, buy big reds obviously there isnt much difference in rotor and caliper cost. And try Sunset porsche I priced some at like $260 per each front caliper. and like $160 or so each front rotor

If this would have been on OT forum it would have had a lot of jokes.

What would I need to upgrade to S4 calipers on an early S2?

S2 requires 78-81 spindles, brackets (adapters), S4 calipers, 993 rotor (non-turbo), pads, bolts.

Sunset Porsche: $373 each on big reds, $280 each on big blacks (not too bad)

Right, I see the big red brakes or big blacks as it were, for an increase of stopping power, but not the S4's as you already have S4 sized brakes.
