Always disliked the pad locating bores in the front calipers they all look unfinished to me.
Found some electrical box plugs. They measure just over 1 & 1/16
Wheel removed, caliper in place, use long nose pliers to bend each tab of the brake pad locators at about a 45* angle until the plugs snap in. I added RTV silicone behind the plugs + clear coated them before install.
.39 cents each = 1.56 + tax. IMO good looking front calipers.

Nice car!! Interesting thoughts on filling the bores, I hadn't thought that deeply about it but I like the look. What year is yours?
The handling is dramatically improved. Those poly bushings work really well compared to the condition of my existing rubber bushings: Sway bar bushings
Guys, given the already stiff ride on the C4 what are you experiencing with the new stiffer bushings? Would fresh stock bushings be better to replicate an original ride?

How true this is... but it's always cheaper if you can do it yourself!
