"BR's" on a cab just sound wierd.
Unless you did it then it's cool.

That looks like a stock Brembo 968 caliper, not a "Big Red" to me. Got another picture of it?

that picture isn't very helpful, but what you DO got there are stock 968 "baby blacks" painted red.
just get a pack of stock PBR pads for like 35 bucks. done.

I believe standard 17" Cup 1 or 2's do clear Big Reds. The only other changes I made were putting cross drilled rotors on the rear and the proportioning valve change.

Thanks for the info Damian.
I don't recall the 968 offset off the top of my head. Do you happen to recall the offset the wheels you now have came with?
Again - thanks for the information. I'm leaning to this as a future mod to my project (somehow being able to go faster requires being able to stop faster too!).

Jay, in case if you do get the proper "big reds", make sure you swap the bleed screw and the oil lines on the calipers. Big Blacks have it in the proper location but since "big reds" were mounted on a 964 ahead of the front axle, their bleed screws need to be flipped.
Hope that wasn't too confusing.
