Those calipers are definitely prettier from a distance than close up. The bridges will help with stiffness but at the expense of ease of changing pads. I simply assumed that pad changes would be possible from the front in the "normal" way. Too bad, this is definitely a design where production costs were a major driving factor. Anyone intending to change their pads for track days will be cursing.

Is it the two aft-facing cap screws that secure the caliper to the upright?

How do the rear calipers work in comparison?
