818R "Glynman Style"

[Scargo]

I know. Nobody knows what to make of what I'm doing. It's painting outside the lines.
Today I ground on the pretty, new Stoptech rear brackets for a race STi (that I wasn't expecting) to make them play with the uprights . Now I have the calipers re-positioned to nine o'clock. When I say I wasn't expecting, I mean I thought the caliper adapter brackets would be "plug-n-play" brackets like the ones I put on the front of my STi. I modified my stock rear backing plates just for the occasion. Now, I don't need them. Ah, well... they're steel and heavy! Good riddance.

I was told that to minimize knock-back the calipers should be at 9 or 3. Here's what I had to do to get the calipers at 9 o'clock. At the highest point (under the top caliper mounting stud) there might be a tenth of an inch removed. Then it tapers down to 0 as you go down the upright.
