difference in caliper between vented and non vented rotors
do the FCs use the same calipers for normal and hard suspension?..or are they different?....i know the 4 and 5 lug calipers are different...but im not sure if 5 lug calipers are considered normal or hard suspension

If i'm not mistaken, the normal suspension models use one piston calipers in the front, and the hard suspension uses 4 piston calipers. My GXL has the 4 pistons, as well as the turbos and i think the convs...... hope this helps!

the cars with 4 pot have bigger rear calipers to accomidate the vented rear rotors, which are thicker.
So if you have 1 pot in front then its safe to say its all normal if you have 4 pot then you have harder suspension.
Why is it harder suspension anyways? I mean the term harder.. is it just a stiffer system?

Auto Parts store use "Harder, and Normal" suspension to decide the difference in brakeing systems on our cars. I dont Under stand why they dont just have a prompt to ask how many front Pistons there are.
