[s-cars] Fwd: RS2 brackets

[Linus Toy]

Just to confuse things a bit more...

The 993 (non-turbo) caliper comes in black.  It also comes in Silver--how
many of you know which car it came on?  :)

Don't know if it was I who brought up what Taka refers to, but yes, either
of the above calipers (black or silver non-turbo) can be replaced by the
big red (993tt) caliper on a non-turbo 993--direct bolt-in upgrade--by also
replacing the rotor--nothing else need be done (save the longer bolts and
different pads).

so...the point is:  color isn't definitive
