On the bottom of the caliper? Do you reckon those are laser etched or painted?

Yeah, bottom. I only checked one caliper though. I'll check the other one tomorrow. I'd imagine they're etched so the s/n is still readable even if the caliper finish dulls or whatever over time.

Man, these are so nice. I just wanna put them on a shelf and display them, haha.

Did you install yours yet?

No. Ran into a snag with my Konis so I just halted all work. Plan was to do Konis and brakes at the same time, but I might space it out over two weekends. Read the install manual a couple times, unpacked and inspected then repacked everything...I wish I had them installed.

Have you fit your kit yet? I've run into several problems.

Check to make sure you don't have Impreza brake lines. They don't face the right way if you want to route like OEM (from hard line to bottom of bracket).

Beyond that, I'm waiting to hear back from Essex who is going to contact AP Racing England on Monday. Will spare the details here, but check fitment of both sides before you use the red Loctite is my pro-tip.
