This is why most aftermarket calipers have bleed screws on both sides.
Other than that, I'm with fantapants.. packaging is probably the main reason why calipers are put where they are.

The bleed screw won't be a problem, just switch side. :wink:

But mayby your right, Ferrari just place them there because of the steering arm. The Landcruiser have the same setup, and it also have the steering arm in the other side.

I had hoped there was a gain, like better cooling of the disc or getting the weight closer to the center of the car.

Project AE86 now begun.

Cars I have owned:
Toyota Starlet EP91 1,3 16v Turbo, 200hp
Toyota Starlet EP71 1,3 12v Sport
Mercedes 207D camper, 1977.
Toyota Starlet EP70 with a 174hp Silvertop 20v See video here:

Toyota Corolla AE101 with a 164hp Silvertop 20v. (Evolution bodykit and candycolor paint).
Volvo 240 2,1 (The only car I have maked money on).
Toyota Corolla EE90 (my first car)
