I need advice from you Gurus to finish up this super-tight fitment. We've got custom 17x11" Signatures to fit over the stock rear 2-piston "blue brakes". Signature milled them to fit, and now I need to maximize my clearances:
Problem 1 (possibly solved) Rear Toe Link - The bushing eyelet of the OEM wishbone is too large, see pictures 1-2-3 below. + I've ordered SPL links which have smaller spherical ends. + I filed down the link mounts of the wheel carrier by hand so they're smooth and have a little more clearance. Problem 2 (need input) Brake Pad Weights - My OEM brake pad weights stick out a tiny bit and I need that added clearance. Picture 4 shows a shirt wrapped around the brakes, and the inner wheel barrel making contact. - Don't recommend a Small Brake Kit yet…Signature said they're custom to fit over blues. ? Is it okay to remove the brake pad weights? I plan to Dremel off the rivet head and tap the weight off with a drift pin. Any downsides? I am working with Jimmy at Signature on these issues, but also want your input if you have experience.

Problem 2 is easy
Those counterweights on the pads can be removed easily or buy sport/track pads which don't have them. Them may rattle a little more than usual but nothing crazy.
