If Stoptech recommends a BB upgrade for fornt only, you can believe that they are matching that 4 pot fornt system to be ideal with stock rear brake calipers.

A Dodge Viper 4 pot, will not be the same as a Civic 4 pot.

By the way, I am going with the Stoptech 355 fornt system in black.
ah man, so what are you going to do with the rear now? come on

if the inners are clear coated i thought it should be relatively easy to clean?

yeah I know what you mean man....when I clean my rims...I normally have to jack up the car and take off the wheel itself....soo much of a pain lol but to me its all worth it in the end

I have to do this periodically too to clean the inner barrel. I can get to most of the insides without but it is not the same as taking the wheel off. The front brakes also get in the way when cleaning with the wheels on the car.I don't do it everytime though.
