Pics of new brake kit installed

Here is the summary of things I had done:
2 new front axles from raxles
2 wheel bearings for both front wheels (Timkin)
1 wheel hub for front driver-side
2 Brembo rotors for fronts
2 EMC rotors for rears
4 Stainless Steel Lines
New Studs all around, the new wheel hub came with them already.
Axxis Pads for fronts, PBR for rears
ABS fixed!!! ( I thought was a sensor, but it appears the wire was stripped. Me and my buddy did a backyard mechanic splicing, cleaned it up, taped it, and made sure it don't wiggle, all set now, no more annoying ABS light. If I had known over 2.5 yrs ago it was that, dang).

The bad news, right rear caliper sticking/dragging. Mechanic showed me that he had a hard time turning the piston down. I am going to see if I can fix it, if not get a replacement.

Had a vibration very strong from the right side after the brake was done, you can kind of hear it. Went to Town Fair Tire, had them rotate and balanced, no more vibes. I actually try to rotate every 5k miles, but I had gone about 7k miles before I had it rotated.

A little under $300 shipped, there is also a UPS return sticker for you to send the old axles back, at no cost to you.
