Default So..I have the ECS "OEM big brake kit" and want some new calipers...
The kit consists of two piece vented, slotted, and cross-drilled rotors (yum), and TT carriers. I really love the way it looks, but I want more. What kind of porsche calipers will work with this kit? Will I need any other hardware? Where can these calipers be obtained from? Any info would be very helpful. =)

Default get rid of the cross drilled....you could go to Boxster calipers and get more pistons...
but I'd just get some Hawk HP's or Porterfield R4-s pads on stock calipers.

You'll need new brackets (get them from Liam), new pads, new lines, and that's about it.

When you say "brackets" do you mean carriers? and this will work with my current rotors?
