    Yes we can add WK2 calipers as option. We think it's better for us just to present the available caliper options for user to do their own research and decision. As you can see our calipers are more refined build while some may prefer to have "Brembo" logo, here are some differences: In short...

    We will be making a longer bracket for accommodating a larger rotor while OE caliper w/EPB* and brake pads are retained. This is the most cost effective rear BBK upgrade, retaining OE integrity with easy installation - 100% bolt-on and no need to bleed the system. *In order to retain OE ePB...
