Re: First hand experience with changing to the NBS master cylinder WOW!

A guy on FSC.com just posted up how to put NBS 13" rotors+dual piston calipers both front and back on OBS trucks. So friggin simple its blowing my mind.
t_graham11- the slang doesn't ever change. OBS will always be 88-98. OOBS is 73-87. NBS 99-whatever and so on.

People use it because they can see with their eyes a new body style to an old body style
That would make sence if the terms changed with updated designs, but they don't. Nobody would think OBS means 88-98 unless the NBS was the only style out. We've marched on, so the meanings aren't so clear anymore.

As for the dual vs single piston debate, they only help if the single piston caliper doesn't have the power to clamp. They also spread the force more evenly across the pad.
