Stop Tech Rear BBK. 2 Pot/Cross Drilled. Installed. Lots of Pics....
I finally bit the bullet and completed my BBK for the entire car. Up front I'm running 14 inch 4 Pot Stop Techs. For the rear I decided to go with 13 inch 2 Pot. I really wasn't planning on making the purchase until 2008, but couldn't pass on a deal PaulGT2 made me:

I started early Saturday morning and made sure to take my time. The install went pretty well. There were no real surprises or fittment issues at all.
Here's a few pictures of the rear lifted and disassemble process.

Here's the rear OEM rotor compared to the new one. The new rears are 332 x 28mm...

Next step was cutting the dust shield off. At first I tried cutting it off with a cutting wheel on my die grinder, but this was taking too long. I went with the back up plan. Used tin snips instead. This proved to be the better method. After wards I used a grinding stone on the die grinder to clean up the jagged edges.
After you trim the dust shield, you'll find that the caliper adapter won't line up properly. This was a simple fix. All you have to do is use a flathead screw driver to bend the dust shield outboard.
Note: only bend it foward at the point it makes contact with the caliper bracket. Leave the rest of the dust shield alone or it'll rub on the rotor.

After all the ground work is laid, you can begin installing all the new hardware.

I took a chance on this new vendor, Paul, and was well worth it. I will definitely do business with him in the future...

I'm thinking Stoptech BBK (or any major name brand BBK) won't crack... It's the oem-size no-name chinese blanks (that get crossed drilled) I'd be worried about...
Very very nice VO!! I'm envious of your BBK!! :-)

...in a good way haha.PS Wish you were closer I'd ask to see if we could test fit my rear wheels on your car ad see if it would clear?
