[QUOTE="slravenel, post: 720405, member: 1068"] You are right on... That being said, I have watched mine and they haven't flexed at all (I use the dynalites) - but I also somewhat expect them to eventually. I talked with several different folks with WAY more experience than me about it, and the general consensus was that the wider your rotor (calling for the spaced out calipers) the more apt they are to flex. If you look at how they are built, the two outer piece sandwich a "spacer" and that is how they adapt them for wider or thinner rotors; at least that is what it appears. Since I am running the thin spidertrax rotors, there isnt much room for the caliper to flex. It might still flex a tiny bit, but its absolutely not visible to the eye - and my brakes work excellent. ??? ??? If they do ever flex, then its time to swap to the 6 piston...but for now, I am absolutely more than happy. [/QUOTE]
