Do we have any comparative photos of the S and base rears, I am wondering if an adapter would work to use the S e brake assembly with the base carriers and am somewhat handy in Solidworks.
I understand that the base and the S rears are nearly identically sized, but pricing out the cost of the rebuild, the rebuild kit, sticker, powdercoating cost, etc, it's actually more economical to buy the S rears since they are pretty damn cheap -- plus then you wouldn't be running mismatched part numbers across the car.
I bought my S fronts for ~$525, but could have gotten all 4 S calipers for ~600.
