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 |

For solid rotors, a groove to release gasses would be better than drilling. Drilling a rotor will make it weaker and prone to cracking if the drilled edge is not eased or rounded off.
BTW, if you try to drill rotors in the car, they will look like shit. It needs to be done in a drill press with a template. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/www.casmoedesigns.com-10496-1415462042.1.jpg) |
