    When I had to custom order DBA stuff for my GTO I used Hinson Super Cars as my go between. After having called DBA North America first.

    maryland speed was also a good store to deal with. And they have a G8 section.

    Look good, and sounds like a great compromise. Short of the cost. maybe a group buy?

    I figured that it saves about $400 worth of brackets and custom e-brake shoes and that I could put that toward getting rear rotors that match the style of the 2-piece 5000XS DBA rotors i already had up front. It would be the best solution for my particular needs and application.
    A group buy would be a good idea since they can all come in one container on a ship.

    Looks good! I'd be in for a group buy depending on the final price. I, like most everyone that wants to do the Brembo swap, have been trying to decide which way to go. If the extra cost of the DBA rotors offset not having to buy the bracket or $400 e-brake shoes, then there's no reason not to go this route.

    You have 2 piece rotors on the front? I have been looking to see if there was a set. I had some on my GTO. Not really worth it per se from a performance perspective. But they were nice rotors. The replacement rings should be cheaper IMO.

    Indeed. and maybe even group buy the caliper kits.

    I added photos of the trimmed down pads to the OP and refined the trim dimension to about .12" (3mm).
