One, obviously there is a difference, but what is it other than look, and type of pad it takes? Two, would it be worth it to swap the 1st gen with a 2nd gen set? And three how easy would a swap be?
Yes, the 2G calipers have 2 pistons vs 1G 1 piston. You can change them fairly easily. Trimming the dust shield I think is all you have to do. I'll be swapping over to all 2G calipers and rotors!
