The main reason is after I've installed the new fronts I'd like to get have the rear calipers cleaned & powder coated, and if I could do it to the old front calipers while they are off the car it would be quite convenient.

If you didnt there is no way the caliper piston would be able to compress enough to fit over the disc. what with the front being vented and the rear solid. | | | 12-13-2004, 03:26 PM | #4 | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2004 Location: Tampa Posts: 465 | When i did my M3 front brake upgrade....
