Hi All,

Here is the question, I have a 93 vert. and I replaced my front rotors with new ABS ones (since my understanding is that convertibles came with ABS rotors and calipers for the extra weight)

The front driver caliper was not working any longer so I ordered a new ABS caliper installed everything with new pads and have been having no trouble till a few weeks ago.

The problem: the new abs caliper I ordered is not the right part. Now that the breaks have worn in some I noticed that only the outer half of the rotor is being used by the break pad. The inner half is all rusty and not been used.

after further investigation the caliper is offset out farther then the caliper on the passenger side.

Can anyone tell me what the shop got me for a break caliper??

I will take a pic tonight when I get home from work to show what I am talking about.

If anyone has part numbers for the ABS calipers and non-abs calipers that would be helpful so I can check what I have. alos maybe specs on the ABS rotors. I found teh specs for the non-abs rotors already.

Thanks
