Good morning.
I managed to track down a couple pair of 3 inch caliper spacing Brembos. I started to do some initial fitment validation and realized that one pair fits perfectly on a vented front disk 3 inch caliper spacing whereas the other fits the same 3 inch caliper spacing perfectly but has too narrow of an opening where the disc goes so it’ll only work on unvented brake rotors. Any tips or coaching here on with the narrower pair will fit – is it simply a matter of needing an earlier non-vented from brake set up? In other words, one pair works fine with a 911 SC brake set up and I’m assuming the other pair should be fine with a non-vented 914 rotor? Thanks. |

Thanks for the discussion.
I wasn’t as clear as I needed to be - the vented rotor is too wide for the opening on the caliper. Think the non-vented will be OK, will see if it clears a 914 rotor (as a proxy) and report back. Thanks! |

Brembo calipers have never used spacers (like Ate calipers do). Start measuring and see what's wrong |
