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

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.

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

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

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!

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