Default What Kind Of Brake Calipers Are These?

These obviously aren't Big Reds. Can you tell by the photos what the make is?

Given what appears to be the rotor size, I suspect these are the stock "big reds" with the silver painted caliper option. The silver calipers could also have been done by the PO.

I would check the "X" option codes on the under front hood sticker for this option as well as the carbon fiber pieces.

Jim is right -- these are definitely Brembos, factory issue.

Default Titanium

They are actually called "Titanium" painted, a $1400 option. They are on my car which I bought in October.

Scott Mellor has those same, rare "titanium" brakes on his TT. The original owner thought that the $1400 bought you actual titanium material. Hahaha and Porsche option pricing!
