Default Aftermarket Brake Calipers

Ive been looking to buy aftermarket calipers (brembos being the obvious choice), but I havent been able to find whole calipers for sale. Ive seen plenty of brembo rotors, and replacement pads in general but never calipers, at least not for a '00 Accord V6. Anyone help me find aftermarket calipers for my ride?

Couldnt find a good site for nissin so i dunno about them yet, if youve got a url ill check them out. I was only able to find Ramen Noodles (mmmmmmmmm). Good looking out on the rotoras, they look nice and have kits for lots of honda models: http://www.streetbeatcustoms.c....html . I cant justify dropping $1500 on a break kit right now. Its really not a bad deal for calipers, rotors (drilled/slotted) and new lines all around but at the moment id sooner spend $1500 on more go and less slow. Id ideally just like to buy some calipers but i dont if thats a possibility; at least not at that site. If anyone could find just rotora calipers let me know.

EDIT: http://www.modacar.com has brembo, aem, and rotora kits that look very nice, all $1300+. Still cant find me a pair of front and rear calipers for sale.

Well, most of the people here find OEM parts to swap into their own car.
To be honest, if your not that hardcore in driving some OEM stuffs are more then you ever needed.

I have a friend with a H22A Turbo powered EK Hatch swaped a set of Nissan R32's front caliper. stopping power is fooking amazing with BS RE55S

exactly, thats why im really just looking for calipers to look sexy behind my rims. the stock ones are looking so hurrrting. getting cross drilled and slotted rotors on a street car is generally a bad idea cause they dont work best until they reach uber high temperatures that are a result of the speed that my car doesnt make. oh well, i guess ill just have to settle for some high temp. caliper paint from ebay

My point is when a better OEM set is more then enough, why go for the super expensive one? i dont mind getting a set of 6 pot AP, but the money just dont adjust

im pretty sure its like the prelude, if so you can upgrade to 2 piston NSX calipers with prelude VTEC rotors if you want the same thing but cheaper you can use acura legend calipers.. the only real modification is using a shim since the rotor is thinner and all you have to use is the base of an old brake pad

Thats not true of slotted rotors. What you said is true of racing pads and racing brake fluid.
