Its been several months since i have installed the conversion kit and have been driving very aggressively on some private empty streets (safety first) and I have had no problems whats so ever. I have yet to get it to the track but will be doing so soon, so before I do so I will be inspecting the kit and the spacers i have installed to make sure. Since taking the image below i have changed the tires and increased the size to 275/35 front and 285/35 rear.

Did you have to change brakes? Calipers? What option did you go with? This looks to be a great idea but I'm not sure what else is required. Kit is $750 on their site but...what hidden costs besides wheels/tires am I looking at?

The hidden cost is as you have stated having to purchase a completely new brake kit.
