Or new replacement. About six years ago, I purchased a full set of calipers for my 951 from Sunset Porsche. They were the new style, smooth finish with stenciled Porsche script.

Shouldn't the SS plates be... SS steel ,to allow proper clearance for the pads and the correct suface for pad movement?

You lost me, are we talking about brake refinishing or braking components?

He's talking about the red pair you posted, you sprayed the SS spring plates red. Depending on thickness, this could cause binding of the brake pads.

My question is for 1993 MY were the calipers the same castings?

The MY93 calipers on my RSA have raised lines and stenciled lettering. I did not grind the lettering down when I refurbished them.
