Unrelated to the braking conversation, I'm installing camber plates on my GTS, and it has been an absolute treat to dig into this car. Feels bad undoing all these painted fasteners. The billet knuckles are absolutely gorgeous, I spent several minutes just rotating the knuckle and looking at it.
It is also nice not having to basically chase every thread, heat every other bolt, and cut off every third nut. I'm used to wrenching on my STI, or my old enduro Miata, both are tired cars with multiple owners.
I'll admit the strut nut gave some troubles once the strut's 10mm end was level with the 22mm nut as I backed the nut off, but a strap wrench immobilized the strut enough to remove it. There was some liberal application of loctite on that nut

Going to burn the existing Sport Cup 2s to cords and then see what the used organ market will give me for a kidney to fund some AP Racing brakes + 18" wheel/tire setup.
