Default

the only reason they'd be "better" is that they're monobloc construction, rather than 2pc (BigRed)

Default Hmm...I'll have to give my parts person a call tomorrow and see how much I'm looking at out the...

...door. Why did you go with the 928 over the 993 if the orientation was wrong?

Was there a big price difference (I realize that you just have to swap bleeders/crossover tubes and it isn't that big of a deal).

Were you able to get by without spacers or did you have interference with the Fuchs?

Default there is a decent price difference, but i went with the 928s because they are black

and the 993TTs are red. I wanted the more discrete route. switching the bleeders only involves some wrenches and a little touch-up paint.

Default Hmm...I wonder if the monoblocs would work without spacers...?

Are there any Porsche options that definitely fit under Fuchs (besides BIRA system 1) that you know of?
