DAMN... nice stuff.

I'm installing my sidemarkers as well this weekend.

I recommend mother's gold over meguires. It does a better job at cleaning and maintaining the gloss. I have both 3 step processes and i dont use the meguires much anymore.

are the Stoptech calipers able to be rebuilt yourself if needed?
i heard that some of the 4 piston caliper big brake sets don't come with dust boots that are servicable if they come with any at all
also did the rotor come assembled like that or did you have to do that & is it safety wired?

the rotor came assembled and is supposed to meet complete DOT specs which means it includes dust boots to my understanding.. safety wired? since im not sure what you mean then id guess it doesnt have one.. fill me in and ill check it out and let you know

safety wiring is what the Wilwood kit requires when assembling the hat to the rotor
you run wire through the holes in the rotor & then twist it so it can not come loose with a special tool
