Can't find any Infrared in the members list

I just checked with KIA, and all Spectras have single-piston calipers.
We have to move up to the Amanti or the light trucks (Sedona, Sorento) to find 2-piston calipers.
I assume we still can swap the Spectra Calipers in order to fit the 11" (10.8" more precisely) rotor.. but it's better to upgrade to double-piston calipers, whether XG's or Amanti's.

Yup, that's what I think... or maybe that the US version is different, I doubt it because I just checked the equivalent of HMAService for KIA and it says 1-piston.
What model was it? Did it look stock?

Are their rears bigger as well?
The rotor, caliper, and lines all bolt up without mods? Are you serious? WOW.
Is this only the 05+ models? I don't see ANYTHING on ebay for 05's, only 00-04's which are 5 bolt pattern..?? Why would they change it? from 5 lug to 4 in just the 05 model?
Oh yeah, and what do you think the weight difference is?

Spectra prior 2004.5 had 4 bolts too, only the pattern was 4x100mm. They now (2004.5+) have PCD of 114.3mm.

there is about 2mm of space between the caliper and the wheel on my fx wheels
Can you measure from the center of the axle to the outside edge of the caliper?
