I picked up a set of boge front struts with the 3.5" bolt spacing for the calipers, but they have solid rotors. No big deal because I am replacing them, as well as barings, inserts will be Konis.
Anyway, I just know what car they came off, BTW, it was all together, crossmember, a-arms, underbody swaybar... |

I'm guessing someone put the wrong hubs on there... should have been vented. But, I'm not actually sure.

Is the crossmember steel or aluminum? I don't remember when they went to the Al, I think if the crossmember is steel them probably solid roters

Wow... cool. So they used the early hubs up on the E's. Learn something new everyday. Thanks Rich. 3.5" ears... did they make a special A-Caliper w/o spacers?? I'll bet that's what they did.
Couple of things Mike... you'll need new hubs to get the vented rotors on the front and check the struts and make sure they're Boge's if you want to swap out inserts otherwise you might be stuck with Bilsteins. There's a thread that has the info to have them revalved if that's the case. |

Worldpac offers both vented and non-vented front rotors for 912Es. Must be a whatever-you-got thing. The Cap'n
