camber and toe locks in place. what's left is:

- UICP, and LICP if there's time
- Turbo inlet tube
- Strut tower brace (5.4lbs, apparently stock is only 8lbs anyway...)
- Remove cross brace by the downpipe (unless anyone thinks it does anything)
- RS Trunk Brace
- Battery fuse
- Re-grease the rear bushings/ball joints
- Temp tape on bushings & abs sensors
- Install upright > e-brake > hub > reassemble brakes
- Make sure everything is torqued down
- Bleed brakes
- Align toe

Yes. The braces on the bottom.

Not saying any of those items are useless, just that I didn't notice any difference. I was told the fender braces do the same as the strut brace, so opted for those so my engine bay was easier to access. That brace always seems to be in my way.

You will get some weird pad wear if you are adding a spacer to only one side of the caliper like that. At least add a washer of the same thickness to the top caliper bolt.

Oh, i see, that makes more sense.

But pushing the caliper approx .050 or more further outboard. I guess the caliper pistons will take that into account.
