    Line than SC calipers (that are virtually identical to your 73 calipers).
    One of the tricks used to get the thicker rotor on Carreras was to use a slightly
    Larger spacer and use a thinner pad. Carrera pads are like putting SC pads that are half
    Worn out on your car.

    Is there a noticeable difference driving wise between the SC and Carrera calipers? And is there a noticeable difference in thermal capacity between the two rotors? Considering both track and street driving
