I will apply for EvoM vendorship first before selling them, this time. I will put in the application later today. It is pricey, but it will be worth it. I will contact those who have been PM'ing me first to get out preliminary sets of brackets, as some have been waiting a long time.
Again, sorry about the delay. Not having a car to size things up against has made things extremely difficult. BUT, I do have at least some brackets that I know are correct. The holes are correct. The spacers were made with a water-jet. The bolts were custom made by Fastenal. For now, I only have the basic brake upgrade, which is really enough for most people.
I managed to recover my drawings and raw parts for all of the transmission upgrades, which I had planned. I am pretty excited about that. I have been in touch with Mishimoto, and there is a pretty amazing final transmission cooler solution in the works. Once I start getting these brackets out, other things will start happening pretty quickly. I now have a few weeks with a bunch of time to dedicate to the projects that I once started!

Brakes are on the way. For those interested in the MASSIVE upgrade, I am redoing it to use Evolution X rotors, so that custom rotors do not need to be manufactured. The cost on that would have been outrageous. The cost of that package should be around $3,000 with brackets, rotors, pads, calipers, lines, bolts, etc.

Perhaps I misread that....but are you saying that your EvoX brake kit for the front only (AFAIK, you are only working on a front replacement, correct me if I'm wrong) is $3,000? Or did you mean the custom rotor set-up would have been $3,000....please clarify.
Isn't the StopTech BBK front AND rear around $3,000-$3,200?
