Yup. And the 'big red' Porsche calipers are really showy! I like'em. 
Curious- how much do they weigh? If they're not monobloc calipers, I might cut a 
pair down for my thinner early 911 rotors. I've also been looking at Boxter 
calipers- especially the rears with integral e-brakes. Just haven't been to a 
Porsche swap-meet in a while. Cheers- J Deryke
