    upgradeing my 97 to 2005 GXP calipers going to get them new I see where there is the option to get thin with or without coarse thread. I am guess it does not make a diff since but just want to check

    What threads are you referring to, the ones in the caliper bracket or? I'm not sure why you're bothering with the rears, they won't give you any better stopping distances.

    I am assuming hats what they mean does not say doing it mostly for uniform looks so I can have the same size rotors all around

    Do you already have the front upgrade I'm suspecting? I'd do the same thing if I had dual piston front calipers, I like uniformity. Plus the rear rotors are vented with the GXP.

    I'll try to find some more info for you when I go on lunch, I'm usually in class :P

    I'm guessing that the coarse/fine thread option is the same as what I just went thru on my GTP. What it is referring to is the threads the banjo bolt screws into to hold the brake line onto the caliper. I didn't pay attention when I ordered my replacement caliper and I got a fine thread one and I had a coarse thread banjo bolt. I ordered the correct bolt to fit the caliper and it went together just fine(just couldn't drive my car for another TWO days). What I don't understand is if you get all the mounting hardware new with a reman caliper, why can't they put the correct banjo bolt in with it, then it doesn't matter if you get a coarse thread one a fine thread one, you have everything you need to make it work.
