New mod installed yesterday
Packed up and headed for my friendly independent shop: fresh batch of Mobil 1 and bbk install w/ Motul 5.1 along w/ Hawk pads for each corner

Stoptech installation is pretty straight forward and well documented, so I won't bother w/ installation details.

"OOOooo Look! BBK! And I don't even track the car, but I must have! - Yield///Spread* Lol. So true.
My 17x8 et35 BBS RCs just barely cleared the stoptech calipers (1-2mm clearance at best)

A little too close for comfort. I bought 3mm spacers just to be on the safe side, but couldn't use them up front because of the need for longer lug bolts due to the added thickness of the rotor hat. With this kit, an et35mm wheel offset ends up being about et30mm. I had plenty of clearance around the barrel of the wheel though (wheel weights weren't an issue at all)

I threw on my 18x8 et35 BBS REs and had plenty of clearance as expected.

I ended up installing 3mm spacers in the rear to help even up the "new offset".

Here's a couple of quick shots of the new stance.

Hopefully the weather will clear up so that I can do a proper "bed-in" procedure today.
