^LOL yep! That's just elite status 
And LRD I totally agree with you that there was NO reason for those seals to have been damaged / lost. But it is unfortunate that SHOULD you need the seals you can't get them. After the 3rd unreturned phone call into PBR NA I am assuming that they have zero interest in providing access to them as well. Fortunately the calipers are inexpensive, but it's a little absurd that for replacing seals you'll have to buy a whole new caliper!

I'll be picking up the brackets/associated hardware for this conversion, as well as the rotors and calipers. I'd like to know if any of you, or maybe //LRD for that matter, have any suggestions on pads. Preferably a set that'll get me close to the stock brake bias (68%Front, 32%Rear).
I know EBC pads were the big to-do a few years back, are these still pretty decent pads? Sorry for the "amateur-ish" question but I've been out of the game for quite some time, so I'm playing catch up on what's out there now-a-days.

the rotors were $200 each? I find that hard to believe. The reason the GB never materialized was the initial price was I think 1k front and 1k rear which pretty much became 1k per rotor/caliper.
The Rotors are by Brembo as the entire system.
The F-Sport rotors are the same size but actually true 2 piece brakes, with an attaching hub. The IS-F 14.2" brakes for instance, are solid 1 piece.
Good luck on the project!

If this helps, I'll be running a 97-98 Supra TT MS which has a 1.05" bore, compared to the SC3/4's 11/16" bore and the C6/Z06 1" bore.
I'm also researching a possible dual diaphragm brake booster upgrade, as I've read that the C6/Z06 brakes like increased pressure. I'm unsure of the Supra TT boosters diaphragm configuration, but I doubt they're dual.
