I know about the backing plate redesign but it wasn't something that I was willing to tackle while doing the work in my mom's garage. After seeing how easy it was to trim the backing plates, I'd much rather have this done than to have the spindles removed and to have the bearing pressed out and back in.
I haven't seen any info indicating the benefits of the new backing plate design which is why I was comfortable with the installation of a quality rotor and the larger caliper. What have you heard or experienced with the new backing plate's cooling properties over the old one?
