If you go for 545 brake, let me know and we may order together.....

But I think we should also change to steel brake pipe for 545 brake, right?

Just my 2 cents.
+1 I dont trust HK workmanship
my spacers are home made by tire rack and very good too

I suggest source the calipers #1 and carriers #2 from oversea only. Brake pads and discs buy the new from local.
