I'm doing a 5-lug conversion for my new 914 and need some help understanding the differences in front 911 calipers. I've seen "A", "M", and "S" calipers referred to. What's the difference? Which one(s) should I try to get? Lastly, anybody got a set of front struts/rotors/calipers?

Thanks,
Spoke

So does this mean with the M caliper struts do you have to use the older style ball joints with the thru bolts
