I want to thank E-Ban for letting me buy these from him. And I would also like to personally thank Stephen for going out of his way and delivering these to me. I'll give you a hand job at a to be determined time later, Stephen.

it is coming, should be done by next weekend. It was too humid to finish painting this weekend.

still have a lot of work to do on it so it wasn't a loss at all. I just can't wait to get back in it and drive. It's been sooo long!

I know, Rob... I know they aren't white. I had intended to keep the white but when I put them on with the wheel, I just felt like the white didn't flow with the overall theme. I did contemplate just rolling with it for a few days before I finally decided to match my lugs though.

And you're right, I could have just gotten the normal OEM brembos, but E-Ban's price was a fkn steal.

Got my Berk HFCs and MD 5/15 Copper Iso Spacer on.

Was working on it from 5:30pm to 3:00am all said and done... with some short breaks in there.

2 gripes:
#1 I hate that top Cat bolt on the driver side... but once I figured out a tool configuration that worked it only took about 45 minutes to get it off! The trick was a 14mm deep socket (3/8) on a 3in wobble extension on a skinny flexible head rachet, and going at it from the wheel side, not the obvious way. I basically only got 1-2 clicks per motion so it was slow going, but going.

#2 I really really hate that hose connection on the bottom of the throttle body. Still not 100% happy with how much I got it on there, but I'd had enough. The MD Copper connection is right up against that other large hose that goes to the intake. Made it extra difficult, and I wasn't about to take the whole thing off again to bend the copper out some. Instructions should say to test fitment before bolting it all back together and then discover this on the last step of the install!

These 2 things alone probably ate up 4 hours. Everything else was cake.
