Ok quick question, don't think it matters but have a look at the pick below. At the moment on my car the 'stumps' stick out on the carriers the same length on each side over the disc, but check these out, they are different lengths??!!

Don't see how it would affect anything, but weird, image on left has longer than one on right, but apart from that identical.

Perhaps having a bigger lump of metal there helps cooling?

The casting quality looks different between the two of them, is one an OEM and the other a europarts copy? :shhh:

Not sure bud, they came off the same car - that is all I know about them and the calipers. Everything else is the same

If memory serves some of the 302 carriers had the larger lobes some of them the smaller depending which model they came from (850, 70 series) Looks like you've just got a mismatched pair.

I might switch it if it bothers me to much with one of mine, but to be honest doubt it will, not that obvious :)
