Default S2000 Calipers
Just wondering what material our calipers are? Are both front and rear calipers aluminum or are they steel?

I believe theyre steel as they have tons of casting marks all over there and I dont think aluminum has casting marks like that. Im talking out of my butt though

WRONG...unless they figured out a way to make aluminum magnetic.

But you did make me go out to the garage and test em to be sure...magnet sticks.
