So no need to shave off the caliper or the tie rod? Direct fitment? Any pictures would be helpful

i think you have to grind the top of the tie rod bolt....or have front rca and no bolt grinding needed..... 10 min on the grind though... no big deal... there are several threads on it comparing them to supra brakes.....

it is a big deal, grinding them ISN'T the safe way to do this. the proper way to do it is a RCA from figs or sage or whoever else has RCA's

i have seen LOTS of things done that arent safe, just cause some people on here do it doesn't mean its ok....but your right, grinding down a piece of the nut that holds part of your suspension on is totally safe,i forgot.

i have the figs RCA though so its all good

GLWS, these calipers should go fairly quickly, pads included or no?

@tither777, just got the calipers in today. They look great. I started preping them for paint. going to order the rotors, pads and spacers in a couple weeks. I'll be posting some pics as the progress goes on. When they came in, I felt like a little kid on Christmas morning. Can't wait to get them on. I will leave feedback on trader soon.
