Big Reds?
What is a good price to pay for just the calipers from a 996tt? Edit: rotors and pads included.

You can get brand new 928 GTS (big blacks) Calipers from Sunset for $20x.00
New rotors run $120-200/each depending on what ones you decide to go with.
Not sure what pads run.

I am pretty sure you cant get big blacks for two hundred bucks and change (I rang them about 8 months ago) unless prices have fallen crazy!

Previouse prices I had seen were in the $280/caliper region so I too was surprised with that quote.

The big blacks through sunset are more than they used to be. I purchased some earlier in the year:
Calipers are $335.00 each= big blacks
Rotors are $195.00 each= 3.6 turbo

The 996 mono blocks are different than the Big Reds or Blacks, doing a quick google will show you that the 6 piston twin turbo are around $4k for the upgrade kit where the 4 piston version is around $600 for the calipers. I have the 4 piston version and they provide more than sufficient stopping power.

The big reds and the big blacks change pricing all the time - some times red is cheaper and some times black is!
They are different parts - but the only difference is which side the crossover tube and bleeders are mounted. The Reds have to have the tube and bleeder swapped to work in our cars.

Speaking of... Bob, where did you get your adapters from? I need a set! (Haven't gotten that far on my build yet.

Thanks for the replies. Yes 996tt calipers. I have a lead on a set with rotors for 600. So I'm wondering both if this is a good enough deal to scoop 'em up even with the financial pressure the holidays force upon us and what pieces are necessary to adapt them to our car.

To make them work.. (Bleeders are in the correct position already, so no worries there) You need the proper discs. And the correct caliper adapter, that Bob here seems to have already.. I sent him a PM, I suggest you do the same. He has clearly already done the leg work.. This freakin forum has saved me so much research time, its truly ridiculous.
