Ran into one issue with blhemco bracket the weld was a little large and cause the caliper to not bolt up correctly so we grinded it, and it ended up fitting perfect.

Not really digging ether set of rims, but seriously impressed with the BBK. A little jealous too. Let's hear your thoughts on the new braking experience.

That you in the photo? You've got this young Matt Damon thing going on. Not sure if that's good or bad... you decide.

From what I understand, DOT 5 should only be used on brake systems that don't have ABS, as this fluid is silicone based.

Did you mean ATE Blue DOT 4?
