    Hard to tell from that pic but look like AL S calpiers to me. Check bolt spacing, if it is 3.5" they are S calipers.

    Thanks for the input Phil- when you say bolt spacing, which ones are you referring to?

    Aluminum "S" calipers are one piece cast aluminum.
    those are bolted together, so not aluminum.
    Probably "M" if 3 inch, or "A" if 3.5 inch.

    Good catch, I was refering to the bolt spacing where caliper attaches to strut.
