^ I ordered up some Carbotechs 1521's this week

Just debating on the new rotors or reuse the ones I have with 24k on them..

My fronts for sure have developed uniform radial channels from the drilled holes.

Great Write Up Mike!!!

The bridge bolt is 13mm, not 14mm. The bleeder is 11mm as well. Euro sizes, not Japanese standard.

As corroded as your hubs are, I'd be hitting them with something to remove the surface rust. I'm very happy I don't live in a place with regular snow. I've not seen corrosion like that on anything I've owned ever since I left Iowa.
