Fronts are done, still need to bleed the brakes, but super happy with the brake to wheel barrel fitment. Super close, but it clears. Awesome R&D there. Couldn’t be happier with it.
The rears are a bit more involved, need to wait for the Milwaukee battery to finish charging so I can cut the dust shield where I marked it. The front dust shields are 4 small 10mm bolts, no biggie, but to remove the fears you must unbolt the hub. Not something I’m willing to do. Will wrap everything up tonight and post
more pics.

had to chop down one of my socket cap drivers, if you have normal Allen wrenches you won’t need to do this, I just don’t own any lol. These are to tighten down the EPB caliper bolts to the bracket.
Rear dust plate chopped for caliper clearance. Takes 2 seconds with an angle grinder. Shot a little bit of black enamel on it to prevent corrosion.
EPB caliper to bracket bolts must be installed before the EPB motor.
Completed rears!

Looks fantastic, although I’m a bit anxious about the clearance on enkeis, I was told they’re designed for OEM so hopefully it’s not a problem.
What brake fluid did you go with? I need to order some

We did run into a small issue that I’ll update the main thread with, the EPB caliper has a clearance issue with the wheel, it’s barely touching. We have quite a bit of room to move the EPB caliper closer to the hub so we a new bracket is being machined as we speak and will be overnighted. Small delay for those who have ordered, but better than not having a perfect product.
