closed the deal last night for 2 pairs of 4-piston calipers for $200....designed for 22mm rotors, but I see no reason why they won't be okay with the 911 20mm rotors...now to go break into someones garage and get a pair of the billet 4-lug hubs

now back to the rotors.....PP has the fronts for $48 and the rears are $72 each...I guess one good thing is that one normally goes thru front rotors faster than rear rotors...we shall see....

my 964 front brakes rotors are designed just like the rears with the deep offset hubs....you can hardly tell the difference between the 2 just sitting on the workbench

i thought we were talking about 914-compatible 911 vented rear disks ...

anyway, the point is the same - there's an additional machining step, and it occurs not only in a different plane, but it must be concentric with the hub centerline.
