Default last min mod!!! Carlisle here i come!

So like a lot of other IS people, My driver side caliper seized up on me so it was time to make a change. After the white marsh meet, i ordered all the parts and they have slowly been coming in the mail. Still waiting for the Driver side caliper but it will be done by Saturday morning. Cross your fingers.
