R32s have the 41mm pistons for 310 mm discs. Your Ed would be 38mm too..
Caddys might be 41mm too.

Winter update just dropped, everything is slippery. Went to get some BurgerKing and on my way home tried to keep up with a BMW (I think).

I'#039m not sure exactly if the 2nd sensor is just a check sensor or if it actually influences the fuel trims in anyway. On the forums I'#039ve heard it'#039s only there to test the cat efficiency and doesnt actually influence fuel trims but one of my mechanic buddies claims it does influence trims.
