Did you have to drill the rear into 4 lugs? And also is the e-brake in the hat of the rotor or on the rear caliper itself?
This info would be great if you get a chance to reply.
Thanks

Yes, I had to drill all 4 rotors to 4 lug. You don't NEED to be accurate (it helps though) since they're hubcentric. I drilled to as close as I could get it, then dremeled it out to make up for inaccuracies untill it fit the stud and was perfectly centered on the hub (otherwise they wouldn't bolt in flat).
Yes, the e-brake assembly is a drum style brake in the hat of the rotor. I'll be installing those next week when I help my friend swap from S13 e-brake lines to S14 e-brake lines, as they're apparently different between the S13 and S14 (and he swapped his seized calipers to my old ones on his S13).

.... so you're DOWNgrading...! Sorry I must have totally misread the previous posts... a smaller MC would increase Mushiness, afaik. That's what most people increase MC bore size for; increased pedal responsiveness/feel...

Yes, it increases mushiness, but it also requires less pedal force (and more travel) to get the same amount of pressure in the brake caliper. So, right now it feels like I hit a wall before they lock up, and it requires quite a bit of pressure at that point. I'm still getting used to the pedal feel. I might keep the larger MC, but it might be worth giving the 1" MC a shot. I need to buy it anyways for a friend, so I might be able to give him the huge one and keep the 1" for myself instead of giving him the 1" as planned.
