Now that is odd indeed. Correct length lug bolts I take it?

Default no, i wouldn't put them just up front..but i was thinking so without the spacers the rear wheels...
will fit...okay, so i don't know where i'm going with this...but, it still seems better to do a brake upgrade.

Yes, correct bolts. Exactly 5mm longer than the original stock bolts.

Default ...and see if your car vibrates? Maybe. Might be an interesting experiment...seriously.
Still want to paint the calipers even if I end up swapping them out later. Weekend after next looks good.

I'm serious. We could try it while doing the "paint-a-palooza".
