kchen - hehe

Handruin - Yes, those are the stock calipers
There are 4 piston calipers that are coming out that bolt right on to our stock mounting holes

Weekendzs - they are the same size as stock.
I threw my stock ones out. Don't know about red calipers you are referring to, probably just painted....

Cool! I think that is the most unattractive thing about the car ( the rusty rotors.) Maybe mine are so rusty because I am washing the car too much!

You sure Type-S adds four piston calipers to the fronts?
