Not sure were he ordered them from. I'll try to reach im. He's not on the forums lately cause he's trying to graduate soon.

Just PM me your e-mail addy and I will send you a pdf file of the TT brake template.
Not sure if you are going TT or LS, but I can ask Jawnthen what the clearance was compared to the TT.
That is whenever I can get a hold of him.

Okay RMMGS4 convinced me to log in for a bit and respond....didn't know these brakes have become such a hot topic of late. Don't have much time to discuss but I'll post some pics that ya'll haven't seen before.
Here's a pic of the bolt that was shaved off.

also heard about a mystery bracket for these brakes. Here's a profile shot of my setup using no brackets. If someone had brakcets made then I would assume that the placement of the caliper with respect to the rotor would be different.
This is the best shot I could take for now...didn't want to take the car out of the garage otherwise I might be tempted to clean the car, and I just don't have time for that anymore.

The nut you see with the cotter pin is shaved. You can't see the shaved part from the angle of the photo, but it's pretty much the part you don't see is what's shaved. This was an old pic he dug up. One of these days he'll have to take the wheel off and show the right angle. Till then thats all he has.
Check your e-mail for the TT template. Jawnthen said if the TT clears then the LS will clear for sure.
Sounds like your real close.
