i am going to be completing this swap this week. i have calipers from a 94 turbo (i painted them silver with black lettering), and my girlfriend's father is milling down my rotors 3 millimeters. i have the directions off of maximadriver.com, but was curious if there was anything else i should know. also if anyone else is interested in this swap, i got my calipers rebuilt from autozone for $106 per caliper.($51, $55 core)

I don't know if it says this on Maximadriver but you may want to shave your steering knuckles down to clear the rotors when you make turns. Mahdavi didn't do it for Shadow's car and he had contact problems when he got new Brembo crossdrilled rotors. They wore a nice groove into the back of his rotors before we noticed there was a problem.

No I think Mishap didn't catch your car, Shadow is a 4th Gen. But I guess it's worth looking out for anyways,
