^^ Correct, for the most part

Correct.....but, there actually ended up being a lot more to it than that, I explained most of that to you in our phone conversation a while back. The (patent pending) rear caliper spacer and seal, and everything necessary to fit these much lighter, better heat vented, and slightly thicker rotors to your Akebono caliper equipped car comes with the kit.

LOL, thanks for the vote of confidence there buddy, but it was tough and ambitious enough for me to do all this development for these rotors here for this kit..... I am in no way looking into manufacturing our own calipers here any time in the near future, or even at all. This was taxing and exhausting enough to take on.... for now at least.
