Nice! Congratulations again. While you're having him do that, you should have him "load" the calipers with Porterfield R4S pads. A good street/AutoX pad. Might even replace your rotors and wheel bearings as long as you're up on the jack stands... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif)

Don't forget to remove the bleeder screws before shipping. If one breaks off in transit it is something like $80 to get it out!

and don't forget the brake balance cylinder of what ever it's called. They do that rebuild as well. I had PMB do my entire system. Stops on a dime even while in a tight high speed turn.
