Hey guys. I have a problem with the brakes. In the rear the brakes don't clear the dust cover. Apparently I have to remove the axle to take them out does that sound right?

Also the venting holes go in opposite ways front to rear... Normal?8a2d6d298f716b11c157f0545942df7d.jpg64fdac47c9539b8a4baa49c3a762543b.jpgc2ded0431e3fc6eb9dd5a0502e4a8244.jpg

Shields get trimmed, at least that's what's happened to me everytime I've upsized rotors

Check the page from Baer I posted to figure out rotor direction, but Brembo should have put a LvsR or DvsP indicator on the hat

Well I needed the brakes tonight. Unfortunately the front steel lines from Brembo didn't thread so I used the factory front lines for now. I drive pretty aggressively. The brakes now sit at the top and are very firm. Definitely a difference in repeat braking and sudden stopping the brakes bite harder, it's very easy to tell the difference.

As far as the wheels go, these wheels are very light!! Unreal how light they are, of course the tires weigh them down. I'm pretty happy with the outcome overall, it looks ridiculous.

Is that a 20 or 22 and what size tire? Can't read it on the pics!
