Default TPS Motorsports C6 red brake calipers?

They seem to have the best deal with the lowest core charge for red C6 brake calipers. Has anyone purchased these from them? Looking for some feedback. I've purchased dimpled and slotted rotors from them before the their service and parts are of excellent quality.

I live close to him and have been to his store/shop. The calipers look good. I got a set. My only complaint is the silver letters on my black calipers looks gold ewwwws

I have the candy red calipers on my C5. I liked the price and was pleased with the quality. They've only been on one season but so far so good.

If you go w/TPS, make sure that the caliper surfaces that contact/hold the pads don't have excess coating build-up on them. The set I received had to have the powder coating on those areas ground down in order for the OEM pads to fit & "slide" correctly.
Enjoy,

The color and quality is spot on, good calipers.

But yes, there was some grinding needed for the new pads to fit in correctly. Other than that, no issues and they are holding up great. I have the pretty blue ones.

I just ordered a set of them this week along with their dimple and slotted rotors.
