Intresting. I didnt know that the calipers where just modified ghia calipers.
Indeed they are - I purchased the vented disc kit through CSP's USA distributor. The calipers are Ghia with a simple, free-hand cut (read: cheap and quite unsightly) aluminum spacer that spreads the caliper across the wider, vented rotor. When I opened the box, I wasn't very impressed with it from an appearance point-of-view but functionally it should be sound (although, a little grinding was requried on the inside to clear the rotor). The only thing I'm concerned about it caliper flex under extreme conditions.

I figure I'll try these first and use them as a base comparison before jumping to Porsche, Brembo or Tar-ox caliper upgrades.
