I never messed with the rear brakes. Is the stock bracket threaded or non-threaded (uses a back nut)? I got my brackets today (same place as Darren, except through ebay) and the top holes of the bracket are not threaded but the bottom holes are threaded. Just wanna make sure thats not a fabrication error.

No, thats fine. The actual caliper bracket that the caliper slides on is threaded.

Just got my brackets! Waiting on the rotors to show up. Hopefully in the next couple days so I can get this done! I can't wait to see how they look with my 4P Brembos.

I'll throw some pics up when the rotors show up. I'll probably do it as soon as they come in

Well if Rob sold out of take offs...I wonder where to get the cheapest set of rotors then. I don't mind painting them myself. Lol

I found my rotors and they are on their way. Just need a couple days to install all this stuff I have along with these brakes.

Did you find some take-off rotors or go new? Cheapest I found new is $162 shipped.

I got mine for $160 shipped. They are new centrics/stop techs. My source said I bought the last set they had, but they are ordering more.

Jesus, how do you manage to take the exact same angle of the car. Its exactly the same as the one in your sig for about a year. Please don't tell me you have a spray painted X on the ground outside of your car's house. Lol.

Jinx is right Darren. You need to expand your photo taking horizons, try something different. Like a pic of your car in front of anything besides your garage.

It's super easy for Darren to get it in the exact same spot when he never turns the wheel. Just measure from a point on the ground to the center of where the wheel touches the pavement.

If someone disconnected his steering rack, he would never know.
