    I have been looking everywhere, and I can't seem to find anyone who carries used F40 or F50 calipers.

    Thanks for your help.

    You are looking for "used" calipers?

    What kind of vehicle do intend to install them on?

    Here's a good local source for brake upgrade installs and components.

    F40 is no longer made, F50 is available, but it is now referred to as the Jaguar caliper at Brembo. The casting is now used on the current Jaguar platforms. The F40 had 38/42mm pistons, and the F50-Jag uses 40/44mm pistons.

    We have a new pair of red F50 calipers on the shelf at Girodisc. Contact me by PM if you want them. Group 2 is a good source for parts and components as well.

    Race Technologies in Southern california is the master Brembo distributor in USA. Give them a call if you need more than 2, they might sell you individual calipers. Usually they only sell complete kits to customers.

    If you are considering putting F50 calipers on your VW, I can tell you now that there is too much piston area in the F50 and your brake pedal will hit the floor. If you want to use these calipers, you will need a 1" master cylinder or a dual setup. For a VW application, the piston sizing should be in the 36/40mm range. The Brembo "Lotus" caliper is perfect for this.
