haha, sounds good... Looking forward to seeing how the rest of your project unfolds.

So, as of right now with just the only change being the front S calipers, and new rotors/misc. setup, do you like the braking characteristics overall? I know some will say that it might upset the brake bias, etc... But would you say that it has been a solid improvement thus far, and have you experienced any downsides yet?

Thanks in advance..
