    RS7 - Red Brake Calipers - Anyone seen one?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I ordered my RS7 with the red brake calipers and haven't gotten a recent update on production status - I heard rumors that the red brake package was causing delays (no idea why) - my question: Has anyone seen red brake calipers on any RS7 here in the states? Any updates would be helpful, thanks-

    Yes, this is a new thing for the steel brake systems on many RS models. Here is the latest RS4/5 caliper as an example:

    I ordered mine with the red brake package, and it's scheduled to get on the ship on Friday. Hoping to have it in a few weeks. I haven't seen ANY pics anywhere so far.

    The one I just put money down on has this package. It's currently on boat and scheduled to be here before the end of the month.

    Seems all our cars were held for the red brakes so doubt there is any. My first order is in the same batch probably getting on a ship now too, and has the red brakes. I'm passing on it since now i want the DRC suspension.

    What was the process for getting this done? Is it powercoating or what? Looks absolutely stunning with your wheels and matte wrap.
