Just some pictures to add to this DYI.



Additional Tip:

1. Instead of fiddling around with a coat hanger or zip ties; I used a jack stands which is leveled to the original position.

2. The pop-off screw works great. Take it off, removed the spacer, spray a little WD40 and slowly screw it back to the hub. (Warning, it made a mark on the inside hub. Don't think it will cause any issues.)

3. Aligned the new rotors where you made the mark; so that your new rotors has the same weight distribution. (Not sure how much it matters but might as well).

The setup I went with DBA5000 and Project Mu 800.

Lots of brake dust compared to stock. Stopping power seems to be "slightly" better on initial bite.
