Dash Cam
My Rexing Dash Cam just came in! I chose this one because it's very low-pro using double side tape and 1 thin bracket without the bulk of a suction cup. Possibly mount it right under the rear view mirror mount.
Got a dash cam hard wire kit. I read a post I could tap it from the rear view mirror power maybe?
Gotta make sure I got enough space to record all the crazy drivers out there!

Powerstop Rotors
Opened the box for my Power Stop's for a quick peek before the installation tomorrow. Not fancy like you guys Futura level but this what I'm gonna rock for time being. HOPEFULLY my previous squeal issue is finally eliminated. Will post some in progress and after shots!

I need more friends like that! lol. Very interesting concept with the dash cam. Does this come from previous experience?

Brake rotors and pads installation
Fronts done!
3mm spacer for rear. Flushed it out nicely. I shoulda just got a 5mm because I sense 2 more mm room to play with -_-
15mm spacer for front. Flushed and no more room left to play.
Yay to the pockets on my wheels!
Beers for everyone!
I don't know if it's normal but the stock brembos were so pitted.
Powerstop Pads.
Gotta make sure it's lubed up properly.
Because spacers loosening up is not the business.
Rears done.
Most of the wheel covers the rotor. All good I just wanted mainly for the damn squeal to go away.
Issues:
- Kyo-Ei lug nuts didn't leave much room to get the socket in to torque it so we swapped it for gorillas for now. We suspect perhaps the bolts were not pressed correctly?
- Rubbing in front on hard turns and turns at an angle.
Notes:
- Front & Rears are flush. Rears can go 2 more mm probably.
- No more brake squeal. Proper bedding procedure was performed.
- Taking it back to my fender guy to try to adjust the fronts to hopefully solve rubbing.
- Before was rolling on controller at level 7 but now is at level 5 to reduce rub.
I will take pics of the fitment when I wash the car tomorrow. The brake dust from the Brembos were so bad I'm ashamed to even take a picture haha.

It's only been half a day of usage so can't tell yet. After I wash it tomorrow I'll know after a week. However, I did use these pads previously already prior to swapping the Brembo's back to take into the dealer so they don't blame it on my aftermarket pads. It did not dust before so on these new sets of Powerstops I assume the dust level would be quite minimal again.
