I can't remember the assembly when I took it apart and I can't find any clear internet depictions. Are these photos correct or do I have things backwards or upside down? There are wavy washers behind the 12 mm bolts (don't know if they're suppose to be there).

You have the wrong 12mm (8.8) grade bolts that attach the calipers. Should be 10.8 or higher. I have them if you cant find them locally.
Looks like early two bleeder calipers. You can not install them upside down. I do not see the bleeders. Not yet installed?
The wave washers are fine. I never use those bend tabs. Porsche used wave washers on most other cars.

Thanks for this @bdstone I hadn't noticed the factory spec 8.8 grade on the rears and 10.9 on the front. Hope to be bolting mine up this weekend so just in time. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
