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)

I ran over enough rocks at the WCR last weekend.

They are there and designed to protect your brake lines and moving caliper parts from road debris.

Let me know when you are up there so I can stay home.

Just sayin with my Krusty response.
