So, our business acquired half of another business, and we are moving that business into what is currently our 8000 square foot toy box and project shop.... so sad to lose my toy box, but good that business is advancing, etc...

But what that means is I now need to move my projects to my home-based shop.... which means they all need to be movable / rollable, etc.... It's kinda sad that it takes us buying another business for me to make some progress on my projects... I really don't deserve them I guess.

So, now that the KW goodness is installed on the front, I need to get the Instant-G stuff all squared away and on the car. The kit uses what I believe is a modified 944 hub, and puts the 996t rotor on the outside of it like a standard setup. Has a trick sexy ass adapter for the 996t caliper. Overkill and stupid, but oh well, F your couch.

First problem was that the bearings would NOT go on the KW spindles. I called Steve telling him I had the wrong bearings, and he told me essentially to stop being such a whiny b**ch and put the things on there. The mediocre machining and the super thick plating was making it difficult. So I emory cloth'd the things smooth and slid them on. Also the struts don't come with the spacers, so I had to source those from Pelican here. Also obviously my 68 912 thrust washer and clamp nut were too small, so I sourced those as well.... On to the photos...
