s2 calipers revisited

Recommended Posts

Mate recommended these as a good upgrade over the OEM VR ones, so I did a search and found quiet alot of info, but most of it negative :(

 

Apparently the pistons are of a different size and the smaller one should grab the disk first, but when mounted on the C they sit in such a way that the larger piston grabs first causing uneven pad wear? :?

 

I mentioned this and he said you can simply mount them on the wrong side, i.e. left caliper on the right wheel and right caliper on the left wheel. The smaller piston then grabs first as it should. His mate has them fitted like this to his C with no other modifications and reckons they're the dogs !?

 

Anyone tried this and can confirm it works??

He's going to find out what pads he's using too as they use the full surface area of the OEM VR disks, without the 4-5mm gap I've seen mentioned by others that have tried them (due to the s2 disks being 276 mm)
