[s-cars] 928GTS caliper (last question, swear to god)

[Theodore Chen]

not a good idea.  the differential piston sizes are intended to reduce tapered pad wear.
   
  the leading edge of the pad (with respect to rotor movement) tends to "dig in" more than the trailing edge.  to compensate, the leading piston size is reduced relative to the trailing piston size, so that less pressure is applied to the leading portion of the pad.
   
  move the tubes.
   
  BTW, nothing wrong with asking questions.

I'm sitting here playing with it in my hands and head, visualizing the 
orientation on the 928 versus on our cars. What if we used the left 
caliper on the right and the right caliper on the left? It appears 
symmetrical and stuff, except for one thing. The differential piston 
size would then be reversed. Do I have that right? What are the 
ramifications of that? Should I just reverse the pipes and stop asking 
questions?

-Cheers!
