So I bought all my parts back in April but I haven't had the opportunity to get the upgrade done because my wheels did not give me enough clearance. So I finally bought a set of wheels with a plus 30 offset that worked perfectly. I actually had no issues with clearance on the rotor or the caliper. The only thing I did have to do was cut the bracket that holds the ABS wire. Other than that, everything went in perfectly fine and bolted up without any issues. I painted the calipers myself and also bought stainless steel brake lines. Everything in total was done in under 30 minutes per side and then needed to bleed the brakes. Total time was less than an hour and a half. If you guys have any questions, I'll be more than happy to answer them. And yes, you can tell the difference right away LOL

Wait!? Where’s the pictures of the matching 4 pot Brembo in the rear?

You can only stop on a quarter vs a dime until then. Seriously though, they look tough and pop like they should. I’m glad you found the hot galv, vented, slotted rotors that just came out.
