After a brief and beautiful April lap around town, parked my C2S in the driveway and noticed something. The front calipers are mounted on the rear side of the rotor, while the rear calipers are mounted on the front side of the rotor. I'm assuming there's an engineering reason for this. BTW, I checked my pickup truck, and both calipers are mounted to the rear of the rotors...

Who has the wisdom?

 

The location of the rotors is to lower the center of gravity and place the masses closer to the center of mass of the total car. Therefore, mount them low, and mount them towards the center of the car.

 

Biggest factor is packaging vs suspension. You want them low, yes, but you can't place them at a location that will bind on the suspension while steering or the suspension is articulating.

 

Maybe also because that's the side the hose comes from?

 

 

Gorgeous gray color! What, exactly is it called?

 

Churchill, that's a great video and explanation. Thanks! And shotgun, the color is Graphite Blue Metallic. Goes grayer in the son, darker or blue-ish on cloudy days. Love it!
