That's the ghetto way of doing it...but exactly what I did on my WRX because front bias even with the stock sliders was ridiculous.

Don't want to stuck on the project and occupying my friend's garage for few days on waiting parts and parts may have chance for back order. That happened to me once when I was doing my Z project at my own house. Really painful.

Yes you reuse the OEM bolts. The main concern with those calipers is that they are FULLY aluminum, including the threads in the mounting ears. MANY people have had to Heli-coil/Time-Sert those holes with steel inserts because the bolts either practically welded themselves to the calipers through galvanic corrosion OR they damaged the threads while removing the bolt. My personal set (still torn apart over a year later
) has Time-Sert steel inserts just because I wanted to prevent any possibility of downtime in the future due to a #&*^ed thread.
