Out with the old... Note how my track shenanigans have discoloured the stock caliper.

Have to trim the dust shield. Make sure to clean up the edges afterwards. I didn't and punctured the palm of my hand when installing the new caliper bracket. Good thing there's a drip tray, because there was blood everywhere!

I paid extra for directional vane rotors, so make sure they're rotating the correct way

Test-fitting the wheel. The wheel weights are extremely close, but a 5 mm spacer fixed that issue.

I have stock of XP12 pads for the Dynalite calipers. They need to be trimmed down to work with the Dynapros. This turned out to be the most tedious part of the whole job.

A bandsaw would have made short work of things. Since we didn't have one, we used an offset grinder, hacksaw and beer.

Since nothing can go without a hitch, we found that the driver-side wheel will make contact with the inner part of the bumper cap at full lock/full droop. It's a combination of extreme caster and a poorly-fitted bumper cap (see the gap between it and the fender).

A quick zip tie fix (after adjusting the lip in as much as we could) and we're back in business. I don't think it will make contact under normal use (i.e. not at full droop).

Extreme negative camber. Note how much the offset bushing pulls in the top of the wheel (15x9 6UL).

Driver-side wheel looks like it has less camber than opposite side. Since the alignment says otherwise, I put it down to fender variation post-crash repair.

Rear ride height hasn't changed as much, if at all.
