Re: Howe dual piston calipers?

"When I spun it, it looked like maybe the wheel was bent, so I don't know. You may have to run a then spacer to get the stock wheels to fit."

i suspect the wheel is getting hung up on something on the caliper and not sitting flush, try another wheel and see if you get the same result. i hope everything works out okay for you. It looks like these may not be the solution for us guys running 15's. regardless, thanks for keeping us informed. just food for thought that tape on the pins made me a little weary. floating style calipers are supposed to slide across those pins to contact both pads to the rotors since the pistons are only on one side of the caliper, if there is tape there the calipers may get hung up when they try to "slide". i would do some more research here to nail this one down, maybe sign onto a circle track forum and ask the question with video clip, or send the vid clip to Howe, i wouldnt want those calipers to either not release or not engage properly your first stomp
