New to 911, switched from E92 M3 To C4. Very happy with the car, its at a whole different level from M3 with build quality and nimbleness.
I have a naive question, Is it possible to get 6 piston calipers on C4 that you get on S models. I know its mostly a cosmetic issue but i find those red calipers really add to the beauty of 911.
Thanks.

Nice.
Just have your calipers powder coated red.

There are no old Porsches, only new owners. Enjoy.

Are you looking for the 6 piston or red or both? As Lex said, you can get them powder coated in red. Brembo makes an upgrade 6 piston caliper but they are very expensive! You would be better off finding a wrecker/totaled car where the front brakes are salvageable. Your rotors would have to change too. IMHO you won't notice the braking difference, partly because AWD cars have a dual boost brake system compared to the single boost of NB cars and that is a Plus! Enjoy your car, very nice!

Powder coat the calipers. Congrats on the new car, by the way. The 911 is a serious step up from the E9X M3 (I made the jump about 2 years ago).
