but most likely fitting problems will arise with new parts
Hence the reason we kept the thickness uniform on our brackets
and told people to grind down the ribs on the calipers
shape is determined in great part by the amount of room to have there
ps. STi calipers don't need as much grinding as Evo ones
but Evo ones are oriented the proper way for pad wear
also STi calipers use a 12x1.75mm bolt which is a pain to source
we ended up contacting a bolt manufacturer and having a batch made specifically for the project

Well if you recall, I kept sending you pm's up until December of last year and you had put your bracket development on hold.
So I eventually got tired of waiting and got it done.
IMO, tower240's brackets would be what I'd buy had I to do it all over again... Just for the ease of bolting them on with no worries.
