I was talking to a long time Porsche builder (all kinds from 356 to 928 to 997) and he says that he never uses the backing plates. He throws them away.
As I will be installing new aluminum 911S calipers soon on the front of my car, what are your thoughts on these? My car is a hot rod street build, no rules, so.......... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |
