My actual question is:

Is it the early or late style of front caliper that should be used to bolt to the rear when choosing this modification?

OR... is it both.. I guess what I want to know: Do they both have the same offset to work?
(I've heard of mounting washers behind the caliper, and I know I once had spacers on a rear rotor.. )

TIA

Its a race car... leave it in gear or a block of wood...LOL

I have seen people use line locks in the past.. just dont leave it on a incline with the line lock set for very long (they bleed off over time)

Lots of us here in the Pacific NW run carerra calipers and no e-brake on our street cars. I haven't had an e-brake for 3 years on my daily driver. I've actually been considering taking the 'A' calipers off the back and using the spacers from them in my old original rear calipers to make vented rears with e-brake. I'm undecided. No hills around here so it's a low priority.
