I didn't believe people when they told me that this job was going to take "hours". well, they were right, it is a real p.i.t.a. the worst part is that I'm still not done. I need to get the correct lug nuts and bolt the wheel on (centered properly) and see what areas need more work. but I am getting there... what a tight fit! somebody should come up with a rear brake kit to make this swap easier. enough talk, here's the pictures:

holy crap!
Screw that Brakes are Damn important, Best investment money can buy. (you can go fast, but you MUST stop)
I just bought 16" with Hoosier slicks.
after researching how much material had to be removed I didn't want to mess with it. Now that I see your pictures! DANG.
Helluva post though. goof detailed Pics!

it's not as bad as it looks.
here are some pictures of the inside of the caliper, you can see that there is still plenty of metal remaining, these calipers are pretty beefy to start with:
also, there are lots of guys that have been running these wheels for over a year now with no problems.
