Red brake calipers

Where can I get red brake calipers? I wish the car came with them.

Just ordered this. Friend said it was easy and heat resistant. Only thing is it will cover the AMG logo on your gray ones but I want red too.

You can order red calipers from the dealer, but itll cost you a few bucks for sure.
That's what I did for my CLA 45 that came with the Silver AMG calipers instead of the red ones.

The front rotors with red calipers are 390mm, and rotors with silver calibers are 360mm. Rear are the same. I have silver calipers, there are fewer aftermarket pads for silver calipers. I went with ceramic brake pads instead of semi-metallic. Power Stop Z16, which work great and are unbelievably inexpensive- Grab better than the stock brake pads. I switched out the rotors with Zimmermann Z-Coat rotors. I had bad rear rotors and did the front at the same time. Heavy use, both street and track driving, high speeds with heavy braking- Used in all conditions. Minimal brake fade compared with the stock semi-metallic brake pads. Very cost effective combination and brake pads are still at half after almost 5,000 miles. Rotors should be turned when switching out pads- Especially if pad material is different.

just get them painted (properly).. that's what I did. and it costs a fraction of what you'd pay to buy and install the calipers from MB.
