But we are so confident that you would be very happy for such an upgrade if you are a serious track racers like those on GTR, Camaro, Mustang GT350 and Corvette ZR1.

It's an one time cost with endless benefits down the road for easy maintenance, more choice on brake pads at lower cost than Porsche/Pagid and making pad and rotor last longer;

RB pistons are staggered (vs. OE identical diameter) - less taper wear on pad
RB pistons are made of Stainless Steel in one pice (vs. OE aluminum in multiple piece) - less heat transfer to brake fluid and last a lot longer
RB calipers are open on top (vs. OE close top) - easy pad inspection and replacement w/o having to remove the caliper from spindle.
RB caliper body is made of forged aluminum alloy and reinforced with 6 ea gd 12.9 alloy steel bolts (vs. OE cast aluminum mono block) - better rigidity less flex.

Warranty - Return your purchase for a refund within 12 month if you are not happy with the purchase including not outperform OE or competitions' calipers.

Special offer with free 2 years extended warranty:
Purchase the calipers from now until Dec. 2, 2019 to receive a 15% special discount and a 2 years warranty (Including track/racing applications).
Choice of color/finish:

Pccb Yellow


Porsche Red


Track racer's favorite - Hard anodizing (no paint to chip or fade)

Looks Nice. PM sent

Is Black w/no logo a possibility?
Does the hard anodizing accept Acromann hi temp logo decals (customer provided) and would a clear needed to be applied over it?

Thank you

Sorry no black color for this size of caliper.
We have no experience or knowledge on various stickers because all our calipers are individually "silk screened", anodizing surface is more porous than powder coating but if you add a clear coat to the surface you should be able to stick any stickers as you would on the painted surface.

Take a closer look on how easy to load and replace the brake pad and how the brake pads are held in place:


Design/construction details:


All hardware are made to ANSI (American National Standards Institute).
Brake pad shape are FMSI (Friction Materials Standards Institute)

None of our design is proprietary like others, our calipers are designed and made with the proper material & heat-treatment, the finest workmanship and specific application (eg. direct mount to Porsche spindle and piston sizing)

RB 4 pot caliper kits (stock size and BBK) for Subaru WRX (=BRZ) were shipped since early 2000 - Still running strong almost no rebuild components were sold.
Porsche OE caliper rebuild kits is our #1 sales among other car makes. If you like how RB caliper components improves OE calipers' performance and durability, you are sure even happier after replacing the whole caliper.

There is no better time than this week to make your purchase decision* (-15% off retail + 2 year's worry free warranty) - Say good bye to rebuild and clumsy pad change and say hello to easy pad change & freedom of pad choice. Save you time and money while boosting your confidence level on tracks.

* A smart customer duly cancelled his caliper rebuild kit order yesterday and ready to move to replacement calipers (or complete caliper kits).

So you are saying that your bolted two-piece aluminum caliper is stiffer than Porsche's titanium with aluminum monobloc caliper?

Definitely. Aluminum is light but has poor rigidity and strength comparing to steel material.

Easy pad changes are worth the price alone. How come you went with SS pistons vs titanium?

Titanium is difficult to machine
