Default Big Red Brakes - BIRA Contact Info? Who can Clear Coat?

BIRA website says its no longer accepting membership applications. Can one of you existing members please shoot an e-mail on the private BIRA forum on how I can become a member so I can purchase the brackets/rotor hats I need for my A8 Big brake upgrade. My e-mail is ahart@hrcdesigns.com.

Does Anyone know of a shop that is really good at re-clearcoating brake calipers, i.e. big red porsche brakes?

Thanks!

Try greg amy at gregamy at sbcglobal.net

Just search for his name here, I can't say they are out of business, but unless he already has what you want, don't think you'll get it within the next 365 days.

I would get a different type of upgrade that is already available if they are out of stock.

Default That's probably the easiest

Just write a check and it shows up. No install required.

Default Yeah, factory installed options are always best :-)

Oh wait, did I just say that to the man who installs EVERYTHING possible in his car that it didn't come with? Hehe

Default Thanks Paul. I already have the calipers. just need the brackets...I keep

meaning to reverse engineer them and make some of my own, but I figured Id give it one last shot to buy 'em. How much does the S8 brake package run? (other than actually buying an S8).

You would still need custom mounts, would be too expensive
