I would strongly recommend against shaving stuff off your caliper. The metal is there for a reason. The last thing you want is your brakes failing on you. Just my 2 cents

I had to buy a set from the local auto parts store this week because my hx wheels wouldn't clear my ex front brake calipers. They're the UNIVERSAL Mr. Gasket - Wheel Spacer, 1/4'' Thick (about 6mm), Fits 4-''4.25'', 4-Lug Bolt Pattern...they did the trick for me. Plenty of clearance and no need for extended studs. $23.00 at O'Reily Auto Parts.

<FONT COLOR="blue"> I've been doing some reading about HX on gsr brakes. I have a EG sedan with GSR brakes on all 4. I had some Q:
[color=orange]
What are the pros and cons of using spacers concerning the OFFSET?
What is the MIN mm I could use? cause 6mm seems overkill. </FONT>
