Simple question: Will 'S' calipers work with 14x5.5 Fuchs?
 
I find myself with my 'new' 912E with non-vented rotors, and a donor set of alum calipers.
If I upgrade to vented rotors, will the calipers fit under the 14" wheels?
Thanks

The S calipers had no clearance issues when I was running 14x5.5 Fuchs, with vented rotors, on my 69T.

Thanks Dave. What kind of job is it to do the switch from non-vented to vented?
My struts are already 3.5 inch spacing, so it should just be bolt off/bolt on, then fab up some lines?
Thanks

It's an easy job. Swap the rotors for vented, and you should be able to use the hard brake lines from the strut to the calipers that are currently on the car if they're in good shape. If not, you can bend up a new set, or take the easier (and pricier) way, buy them from our host.
