Aaron we can supply all this for $4500 but we do like to worn people that with brembo's on the rear you get pad knock off as there will be bearing movement in the rear end. We can supply the 6 piston 355mm front brembo kit with the pbr 1 piston 328mm rear for $3500. The calipers are only red with white writing sorry.

Quoted from here

When you use the brakes, hydraulic pressure obviously pushes the brake pads against the discs. When the pedal is released, the seals retract the pads just the right amount to prevent a spongy pedal without dragging on the discs and reducing the effect of your beautifully built engine.

When pad knockoff occurs several things can happen:
1)The wheel bearing/hub assembly distorts causing the disc to run non-parallel to the caliper, thus pushing back the pads. This happens in the stress of competition as you charge through the forest.
2)Freeplay in the wheel bearing causes the disc to wobble and knock back the pads.
3)Severe vibration can cause the caliper pistons to "walk" back into the caliper housing.
4)Other forces that a mere engine builder has no idea about.

How to solve the problem.
1)Fix the stub axle, hub, wheel bearing distortion at its source by fitting bigger components within the rules of course.
2)Adjust the wheel bearing you slacker.
3)Fit an anti knock-off valve. This valve fitted in the brake line supplies a small residual pressure to just hold the pads against the rotors. It has the down side of supplying slight drag which reduces the effect of your beautifullly built engine but if the engine is any good you will hose the opposition anyway. (It can't be your driving that is the cause of your poor results can it M? It must be someone else's fault.)

You could repaint or have someone repaint the front Brembo calipers as you won't find anything else with the same quality like the 6 piston 355mm front brembo kit and the pbr 1 piston 328mm rear for $3500.
AP Racing calipers are black with yellow writing and ALcon are silver with blue writing but a front kit with a similar size to the brembo is close to $5000 for the front alone.

The OP wanted silver calipers.

The ones you refer to are orange.
