So which calipers (or the stock variety) are better? Late or early (and why)? Or does it not make much difference?
Also, and this may sound like an odd question....is there any reason why the rotors couldn't be drilled while on the car (other than the labor involved) and yes I have no plate. Thanx David |

The rear rotors are solid, like stock 914-4 front rotors. So no--no positive effect. Same reasons as I gave above. Additionally, the rears do much less work than the fronts do, so they build less heat in the first place.
The 914-4 rear calipers are all interchangeable, I think the only actual difference is that some have one bleeder (put it at the top!!) and some have two, one at the top and one at the bottom. --DD |
