Great idea Marco, this is my personal favorite as the Porsche calipers are a direct bolt on with no adapters needed, plus they come in blue , details are as follows;

ECS - Front Big Brake Kit - Stage 5 - 2-Piece Cross-Drilled & Slotted Rotors (352x32), Six-piston Blue Porsche Cayenne caliper, caliper carrier, pads, two-piece rotors, exact-fit stainless steel lines, and hardware.
