Got the BBK installed, swapped my tires from the 69's to 99's, but still needed a spacer to clear the calipers.

Also replaced the guibo, a cracked power steering hose, all coils, spark plugs, and all o2 sensors, also raised the car and got an alignment.

Car now stops on a dime, runs great, and steers perfectly. Considering the rear BBK to finish everything off, but that will be sometime in the Spring if this clearance sale is still going on.

Once spring rolls around, have the 4.6is f+r lips, aluminium running boards, front brush guard, and front and rear flares to put on, and she will/should be finished.

Pretty wheels. I wouldn't use because too many crevices to hold dirt but it's a nice style no doubt.

Need three plates because you need one that fits through the carrier to pull out the bearing and one that doesn't fit to pull it back in. With the right design of the big plate you could maybe use the bigger plate outside for removal and inside for install while using the small one inside for removal and outside for install.

I think I use four different plates for install and removal but with the right profile you could flip it over: the key is you have to only push on either the inner or outer race when pushing so you don't see damage the new bearing.

I always push on the outer race when removing so I'm not pushing on the bearing race (which is curved and will push outward to tighten the fit). You wouldn't have to so could get away with fewer plates.

I actually am not a fan of these wheels, at all, I loved the style 69's. I was told they wouldn't clear my BBK and the style 99's would (found a new unused set on CL for $250). Unfortuntaely they needed spacers as well, but at least these wheels look brand new and help make the car appear younger.

Thanks andrewwynn, pretty much like i thought. The only part I'm uncertain about is the clearance from the back to "pull" the bearing out of the hub, by putting force only on the outer race. This "disk" needs to be a precise fit - resting on the outer race only but still clearing the bore that the bearing fits in.

There is not a lot of difference but you can remove the bearing deductively. I prefer to use an exact fit that will pull the outer race since I have that size.

those are the wheels I run on my 4.6is, I like them better than the originals and the tires are cheaper and you get better snow/mud tires thant on the 20"s.

I do need spacers for the rear since they are way too recessed but its low on my list of priorities.

What size disks are those? I was looking at a Stoptech kit but the rotors were smaller than stock on the 4.8is. Didn't want to downsize the rotors, for appearance reasons, the Stoptech would have stopped better.

The front BBK are 4 piston calipers with 355x35mm rotors, I believe the 4.8is has 356mm rotors with a 2 piston caliper in front.

I was upgrading my 3.0i brakes and was planning on going with the 4.8is brakes, but if buying new/used parts, the Stoptech BBK came out to less with the clearance sale.

The rear kit I am looking at has the same size rotor at 355mm, but the rear has a two piston caliper instead of the 1 piston found on all E53's.

^Yeah, was just coming back to edit the post. Saw the sale on Stoptech's site. Smoking deal. Wish I wasn't so greedy and wanted the 380mm or an X5M brake setup. LOL
