Hi Aus, I got the rotors for about $600.
I used a bracket to mount the caliper but could have filled and re tapped the original caliper mounting holes :shrug:
No spacers used. The inner hub offset aligned the rotor center in the caliper, mindful of the clearance of the lower ball joint,
The outer hub offset pushes the wheels out giving wheel clearance from the caliper whilst staying inline with the guard.
Needed to get extended wheel studs.

I do not think the hubs would be cheap.... I did all the specs, design and with mates rates it still hurt.
They need to be milled from T6061 hardened grade aluminium and not many companies are interested in one offs.

If it gets too hard... just order a set of these CP5570-1018.G8 8)

Gave it a wash today and took some pics as proof :D
Stock interior is in along with seat belts and parcel tray.
ST205 spare fits nicely in the 185 boot well.
I lifted the JICS by an inch also

Got some "chatter noise" from the rear which increases with speed and disappears when I lightly apply the hand brake so will need to try find the problem.

All drooling aside, as worthy as the pictures may be, what are those plaques bolted into the floor of your trunk?
The plaques on the floor are Toyota build plates.
Gotta quote these when ordering Group A parts through toyota Australia to prove legitimate ownership.

Ah, I see... I thought they just wanted the numbers from the two plates in your engine bay.
Seems like Toyota Aus. really got their panties in a twist over the Grp. A parts eh!?
