So just to recap, in order to use the TL Type-S Calipers you had to;

- Make the bracket holes on the calipers bigger.
- Shave off 5 mm from the caliper bracket.
- Purchase custom rotors from Fastbrakes.
- Use a 8mm spacer on a 17 x 8 +48 offset wheel.

Is that correct?

If you didn't solve your clearance problem yet, you can use my GC07s. I'm sure they will fit w/o a spacer.

Also, if you were to keep the TL rotors, would the correct method to match the rotors to the hub be to bore out the TL rotor centerbore?
I'd hope that this method worked, so new rotors wouldn't be needed.

What rear calipers are you going to fit in? I have no ideas.
With brembo calipers in Front wheels it stopes much stronger than the rears...
I even have problems with that because i need to catch the rear while stopping because i feel stong pushing...
