9bolt rear disc?
Which way do the calipers face on a 9bolt. I noticed on mine that the drivers is facing the rear. And the passengers is facing the front. Is this right or is my car screwed up more then I thought. Thanks in advance for the help! Adam :-)

Not so normal for other cars. Normal for thirdgens with Delco-Moraine calipers, though.

That's just GM saving money... by using the same caliper on both sides they didn't have to have two models made, just swap sides and use the same backing plate, caliper, and rotor on both sides. Lazy but cost effective.

It maybe more cost effective. But I still think it's stupid.

By the time I build a motor to blow the rear up. I'll have a 12 bolt in it's place. Adam :-)
