I was looking at the rear kit, and noticed this:
"Note: Installation of this kit requires partial removal of the dust shield and minor trimming of caliper mounts."
I knew the dust shield would have to go, but trimming of the caliper mounts? Does anyone know what part of the mounts are trimmed? Also, I would assume that they include a mounting bracket, shouldn't it come pre-trimmed? Maybe the trimming is to the mounting surface.

Yes, the rear kit does come w/ a bracket. The top of mounting surface of the rear hub needs to be filed down a few thousands of an inch to fit perfect. The slight modification is required to insure 100% Pad to rotor contact with ZERO overlap.

I’m running a 26mm offset with plenty of room to spare, my guess is even a 30mm offset would work. I know they can special order dimpled/slotted rotors like on my set-up, not sure about drilled, but personally I would say away from drilled rotors.

Yes, 13.2" not 13.6", I think they need to update thier website considering fastbrakes does not offer that kit for the Z.
The lowest price on the front kit is $1,500.00
