BTW, the kit includes everything you need, rotors, calipers, even brake pads, but strangely omits the brake lines required. I got AMP to throw those in.

Hmm, not the best of news. Apparently Wilwood are not sure where Australia is. The order has been sitting in their 'Too Hard' tray with my $2k for the last two weeks. And I only found this out due to my repeated but polite nudging for a Tracking number.
I expect the story is that AMP requested it be drop shipped direct from Wilwood, but as Wilwood have an Australian distributor (Rocket: who don't carry the S2000 part but will gladly charge airfreight to order it in for you at an inflated price) they can't ship here.
So I'm back to day one of my ordering process.

Some pics from the install.
A 'Before' shot
Tricky to get to heat shield screws. Seriously, who uses screws here? Bolts would work so much better. I shortened a hex screwdriver bit.
And held it in multi-grips, applying pressure with a screw driver.
Anyway, after a series of test fits to work out the orientation on the brackets and number of shims required and extensive reworking of the heat shield, here it is in one piece.
Side on.
Wheel on.
