Cool. Thanks for the link. I'm going to pick up a pair just to test fit to see if my CCW's will clear it. Supposedly they will as they are for a G8 which came with the Brembo's from the factory, so we'll see.

Is that the left or right side? It doesn't say?

Again, if someone has a picture of the backside of the calipers that would help. Mine will be here this afternoon and I will take pictures to help clear up some confusion. It would make sense from a cost standpoint to make just one caliper that would work on either side as opposed to having to manufacture two different, side specific peices. It's kind of like our cylinder heads and gaskets, there is no left or right one.

Well, I figured out that there is a definite difference between left and right. So I checked Amazon and the correct pair is parts # 172-2287 and 172-2288. The problem is the picture they have for 172-2287 is what looks like a gasket set to a transmission pan and filter, hence why I didn't buy it.
So I talked to Amazon help desk, and explained it to them, and they agreed it was a misleading item description, so they authorized a paid return of one of the calipers, and I proceeded to buy the matching one, which is actually $25 less than the other one for some odd reason.
So I got both calipers to my door for a total of $227.93, and since their wharehouse/distribution center is in Delaware, and I'm in Pennsylvania, it'll be to my door by Monday.

they had another one for $160 but it did not last long either.

after looking more at the yellow calipers that are shown. if u look at the mounting bracket its actually different on each side. so you would still need a left and right one, switching the screws wouldnt work. i'm wondering if theyre just using the same picture for both left and right.
