sweet, put my boxster calipers on! and ECS is now 2 for 2 with messing up my orders.
Looks like ECS sent me S4 rotors instead of the A8 rotors for the boxster upgrade. So I have a phone call to make tomorrow to correct it. But luckily, Scott had a spare set of A8 rotors (thanks again man) so those went onto the car. Boxster calipers, A8 rotors, Liam's brackets (thanks again man!), and Hawk HPS pads. Just bedded them in, they're working well.
Also did a turbo install... Scott picked up a '99 Passat for an unbelievable price, all it needed was a new turbo and some major detailing work on the inside and outside. But we knocked the turbo out today, tomorrow he's taking my old brakes and going +1 with my stock 16's on the Passat, w00t. No pics of the turbo install, was pretty easy, took about 3 hours. Here are some pics of the new brakes:

yeah. I've gotta pull the bumper off again, put some more glue in there to solidify it
Then put it back on. Scott had an idea of what I should use to put em on...
I think they're these:

if you had 2 people, it'll take 3 hours.
drive it up on rhino ramps. was very straight-forward. You'll have some extra time putting in FPR and plugs and stuff for the K04.
BTW, use lots of PB Blast and make sure you have extra bolts and nuts. I would recommend getting extra bolts for the exhaust manifold if you don't already have them.
