Yep...
I owe a major thanks to Ryan and Dustin for giving me the parts at a great price, being great to work with, and leaving parts together for an easy installation. Will be installed ASAP but no rubbers yet for the wheels that can clear, so she will be on blocks until tires come in January!
Thanks for the comments!

i just got stoptechs at the beginning of the month, awesome brakes, just make sure you clean the rotors really well inside the vents, they say wash with soap and brake cleaner, but inside the vents is some assembly lube and it will splatter on the inside of your new rims if you dont clean them well. btw what offset are the wheels?

Thanks for the tip. I actually bought them used from RojaBoy with 100+ miles on them.
I cleaned the surfaces since they arrived yesterday, but I will scrub it all down and make sure to clean the insides also. Thanks for the tip.
The fronts are 17x7.5 +48 I reckon. I am not sure if a 10mm spacer will clear, so I am going with a 15mm to be safe. I will get 215 series tires (vs normal 225).

You dont need to clean the rotors. Everything has been cleaned and the pads have already been bedded so you are set. On the lube inside the rotors there shouldnt be any left.

BTW, the fronts should be super easy just bolt up and hook up the brake lines. Then bleed them and then you are good to go. Same goes with the rears. I made sure to bed them exactly as Stoptech wrote in the instructions.

yea installation isnt hard for the brakes, the extended studs arnt too hard either but just takes about 45 min on each side for the studs. you should be good with a 10 mm spacer, my offset on my rims are a 43 but only 7 wide, so im running a 5 mm spacer and it clears fine

Thanks for the tip.
I just need to install the knuckle, with the brake and extended lugs already on it. I need to bolt up the knuckle and bleed the lines.
If I have room to spare with the 15mm, I will go down to 10mm. Thanks for the tip. What wheels do you have? A lot has to do with spoke design, but if you also have 37s...
