They were designed to stop a lighter car, and don't do as good a job as the 88 and later design. I have an 87 900S (vented discs) and 88 and 89 SPG's. I would probably never consider buying a pre-88 900 again simply because of the poor brake design. Rebuilt calipers become a regular maintenance item.
