Default Can anyone identity these 4 piston calipers?

Today I put on a set of Prodrive brakes on my car. Took these off the car.
Does anyone have any idea what brakes these are? Nothing on both sides of the calipers.
They came with 330 rotors
Wierd thing is that, when I bought pads for it, it shares the same pads as a Peugeot 406 and Ferrari 360.

There has to be some casting marks on those. That is unless someone shaved them.

I think they have been shaved. The brakes came with the car, so I dont know where they came from.
But the wierd thing is that the back has no casting marks also...

tough to ID your old set of calipers through your pics;

but chances are they're oem subaru 4-pot calipers with the letters shaved off

The prodrive calipers are actually made by Alcon.

Im sure they are not the OEM suby 4pots, cuz they came with 330 rotors and I dont think that small 4pot will be able to take 330 rotors. Also notice the exterior oil live on the calipers which the OEM suby 4pots dont have.

Did you ever find out what they were? The two pins have me thinking they look like shaved Brembos...


The Pug 406 reference also has me thinking they are indeed Brembos. I think its their bread and butter 4 pot model.

They can't be the Subaru as they're radial mount and not lug mount. It's possible they're EVO Brembos or even some Alcon model.

Complete china crap knockoff of the Brembo "Lotus" caliper. I would be scared to put that junk on my car. Who knows what aluminum alloy did they use and how well will the pistons hold inside the bores and the seals, etc... Any amount of heat from a race duty and they will flex like wet noddles and start dragging and leaking, etc.

China crap knockoff? Dude, those are manufactured here in AZ. You couldn't be farther from the turth.

They manufacture aftermarket bbk's for some of the finest cars in the world.

If your scared to put in on your car I'm guessing you've never owned a set, a good friend of mine has a 13in kit on his A3 and they rock, never flex...two piece rotor holds up very nicely actually.
