Patronus. Thanks for the pictures!!
Bill440rt. Hanks for the reply.

Do any of you two have an issue about the lack of a dust shield on the rotors?
I dont know of its a big deal to have one of those or not.

I don't have an issue with it. I wipe stuff down under there from time to time, so far it gets a little dirty but nothing uncontrollable. It hasn't been noticeably worse than my others that have the shields.
I've also noticed the amount of dust has gotten less now that the pads are fully broken in.

Fyi run no dust shields on my track car...brakes run noticeably cooler but might want to cover your ball joints with heat resistant tape... heats em up with no shield

I should add that one of my two-piece bleeders was leaking. I ordered a replacement from Summit just to get it faster.
Also, one of my rear calipers had a leak, leaked for 3 days straight. Left a small puddle on the floor. Turns out it was just assembly lube. I was like, "Jeez, how much assembly lube did they use to put this thing together??"  :smilielol:
