Two seconds is probably the best case scenario, but I seriously gain all kinds of time with those brakes.
Or, Turn 15, TWS clockwise (other end of the above straightaway), same deal.

you will need spacers for the front for sure. i have the same wheel upfront and have to run a 5mm spacer.
i'm pretty sure you will need spacers for the rear too - i'm putting mine on this weekend and i have a 11.5 + 22 A disk out back and i'm questioning if it's going to clear.

You should seriously print out the STOPTECH caliper clearance chart off their site and check yourself.

, I don't think they will also. I'm not a fan of spacers also but if needed, and will work, I guess I will. What size spacer do you recommend?
5mm for the front - i couldnt tell you until i mount the rears, but your rears are different than mine. the easiest way would be to goto the stoptech page and print out their diagram. and take of a rear wheel and measure to see if it will clear

I'm not understanding the mathmatics behind all of this. 
Project MU Racing Caliper BBK
6 Pot Racing Caliper 355 Front
4 Pot Racing Caliper 332 Rear
Work Varianza T1S in Machined Silver Polsihed
19x9.5 +24 R
19x11.0 +22 O

I hear ya - it atually has nothing to do with low end or high end. It's something specific wheels have or don't have.
He will definitely need front spacers. I can't say on rears as I've never sold/used that size
