Burning Brakes
Too nice to track? Just throwing that out there.

Does the piece that makes contact with the brake pad vary in size between the TT and RS rear? I don't have my jack stands handy and didn't want to climb under the car to get a good visual. I pulled out one pad and that piece measured 44mm making contact with the pad but not sure if its universal or not.

The owner that did all the upgrades consulted someone called viperbob? on this forum for most of the help. Not sure if they are active or not but thats who guided them on the build.

Crap...those all look like the same diameter...the interaction with the piston is what varies. I shot the original owner an email to verify...Not the easiest checking on the car with the rotor in the way.

yes, the clips are different, they match the different holes in the piston backs, If you pull the pads you can usually see well enough, the tt will have 4 identical small pistons, The RS will have 1 set obviously larger than the other

Current plan...rectify suspension. New tires. Learn to drive. At the same time order panels and plan to have car painted this summer as its too damn hot to race in Florida so perfect time for the car to be down. Last will be a motor rebuild when the time seems right but learning to drive at this power seems the most prudent so that will come later.

as an aside....viperbob is over at Vortex Motorsports. Off Waters in Hillsborough. Between Dale Mabry and the Veterans. Couldn't hurt to give them a call. I need to drop by for an oil change.
