Glad to hear! Can't tell from the pictures, but are these anything like STi Brembos with twin bleeders? We did my brothers WRX and it had 2 bleeders per corner.

The front has a total of 4 bleeders on each caliper. The whole setup has 10 bleeders. I'll just say my leg was sore after bleeding all that.

regular pricing on front and rear kit for my setup would cost around 2600-2700. If you get my exact setup its a 17 inch rim recommendation because the rear single caliper is beefier than it looks. If you get just the front setup, 16's would work.

I noticed GE8 brake pads appear to work on GK5's. would the same hold true, for wilwood bbk's?

I wonder if the calipers are interchangeable between GK and GE. The pads seem to be, but that doesn't mean that the calipers/mounts are the same. Guess I need to take the wheels off of our two cars and see.

Loving the look whats the width are the calipers as i got 16x6 et 38 but can always you spacer to give it a bit of gap as the stock calipers are about 3- 5mm of clearance between the back of the wheel to the front of the caliper. Definitely jealous of your build haha 👍
