Ive updated the OP to point at my website for build info, so I only have to keep one spot up to date. Changed the oil this weekend, pulled off some parts I decided not to run anymore.

I've said this before, but that is a beautiful garage.

I’m going to have to close my eyes until I get in my car for now on Absolutely stunning The heat and FL mold alone shouldn’t allow such a feat. The black stripes mixed in… brilliant with the grey . Definitely want to do the same. I’d rather not take out a 2nd mortgage. So we’ll start with the floors and cabinets 1st.

Oh yeah, nice Supra

Love this wheel setup -just the right size airbag for this car. Whirl? I am really enjoying my JQ Werks paddles but am wanting to upgrade the wheel...

Your garage setup is amazing! Excited to see the BBK installed.

Signature Werks BBK installed. I must have done a shit job bleeding because pedal feels like shit now. Going to try one more bleed today and if that doesnt work Ill have to take it somewhere.

I wanted to update with some additional thoughts and info on the BBK.

Signature Werks made a decent product here. The build quality is fine, not amazing, not bad. The lack of instructions is unacceptable for something this complicated. For perspective, see the below picture showing the rear left caliper mock up. This is an extremely complicated setup and not having instructions made it that much harder. They were also very difficult to communicate with, only responding on Instagram, and not very well.

The rear e-brake sits VERY close to the EDC module on my KW DDC's, and Id imagine that it would be the same if you were on stock EDC shocks. I ran the rear suspension through its whole range and it never touched, but it gets within 1mm.

The fronts were much easier, obviously as they are a simpler setup, however you must remove the front fender liner to access the brake line. Not crazy hard, just an extra step.

I have had a lot of issues bleeding. I did what I thought was a full bleed on Saturday after installing, then took it out to test drive it and had NO pedal feel at all, so I knew there was air in the lines. I did another bleed Sunday and got lots of air out. The pedal now feels 90% stock, with a little bit longer stoke until initial bite. I may have to take it to PSI or Eurotech to have them cycle the ABS. I did feel confident enough to bed them, and man, they took a LOT of hard stops to get hot. Super excited about finding their limits at the track.

I should probably take some notes down on everything I got from SW as well as my own pics I took and write up a quick how-to, if anyone would be interested.
