Will be installing ECS 1R rear brakes next weekend - Any Learnings Out There?????
I did a search but the search didn't help much. I think the issue is around the parking brake.

I had no problems John....>
Just be careful getting the calipers aligned in and out. ECS supplies some washers for this. Not the best solution, but seems to work..
Also there were no instructions, but you can figure it out pretty easily..

They fit between the bracket ....>>
And the caliper mount holes on the car. They're for side to side spacing so you can center the caliper on the rotor. If the brackets were a little more "precision" this wouldn't be needed.

I made that up.....>>
Not having instructions and all, but it seemed to make sense as I was putting it together! They are actually Precision washers (spacers) not hardware store stuff...

I got these from gesttalt, gary. I can't get my Bentley to work. What torque
should the bolts to the hub and bolts to the caliper carrier be torqued to.
Gary didn't have many miles on these. I've got new bolts and Hawk pads coming from ECS and will install one evening next week.

No trouble here except for the parking brake
Had to cut 2-3" off the rubber housing to get it long enough. There should be a couple of threads in the archives from last spring. Getting the shield off took some work too now that I think of it. Not technical, just took a little persuading.
Remeber to use the caliper tool. The rears are twist'n'push, not just push!
