Assume you are using your S2 uprights still? Don't make the mistake to convert to the Mo30 option and then try and run those new callipers and rotors.

(Yes, list is very thorough!)

Harry I just wanted to personally thank you for writing this. I'm new to high performance 4 cylinder engine design and one of my biggest questions has been the effect and consequence of valve diameter. In just a few short paragraphs you've given me a better understanding and more to think about than 2 industry standard texts on the subject.

Saw Tim's car at a 944 meet today, Think I'm going to put my car in the garage and forget about it.
