One other thing you might want to consider (and if you have already please forgive me) - Now that your brake rotors are that much more exposed, you might want to consider something other than stock.
The 'rusty-rotor look' will bug you after awhile. I love my Powerslot rotors, but I believe Spoon and a few other companies also offer OEM-sized, plated rotors for an easy swap-out. Or, you could mask off the front and rear face of the rotors (where the pads come in contact with the rotor) and paint the edge and center with some sort of high-temp paint. (Of course if you track your car, you may want to review this suggestion - not sure how well such paints hold up under severe heat...)
Anyway, just a thought...
I know the stock rotors are excellent so please, no
. But the rust has got to go, especially with the new shoes and nicely painted calipers!
