shaving calipers is not to be recommended. manufacturers don't put unnecessary metal on things.

You only have to just shave the casting marks, Not much as to be taken off!

you see, they design cars for people to be carried in comfort, safety, & with a chance of actually getting there..........and back

my personal fave is the firewall. it keeps noxious fumes from entering the vents, and adds to torsional strength.

im with mowgli on this one.

but i am ashamed to say im running shaved calipers and have never had any problems and been through MOT's with them.

p.s we had to shave more then the casting marks off
