No problem
dammmmm im gunna try this soon drunk thing u could help me out lol
I'm gathering up the stuff for the cts-v brakes and I'm confused about the washers and bushings. I'm looking on the McMaster site and don't know which ones they are. Any help?

Part# 6679K16 Desc: Metric Steel-Backed PTFE-Coated Brnz Bearing for 12 mm Shaft Diameter, 15 mm Length Price: $2.45/each Qty: 4
if the cts brakes are just fancy f bodys in the end, these should work.
I just bought the F-body kit for $40 or whatever it was off ZZP because I couldn't find the banjo bolts anywhere by themselves. Then I just bought a few more washers from Home Depot. Done deal.
EDIT: I no longer recommend using F-body bolts because of how short they are, but the rest of the kit is fine.

They're just generic 12mm washers. Be prepared to put 4 on each side if you have to. Though I wish I could've found thinner washers to more precisely center my calipers. If you can find .5mm thick 12mm washers grab a bunch of them and you'll be spot on.

Do these look about right for the washers?
Ok. Thank you. That cleared up my confusion. I'm going to try to find .5mm thick like you said to better align it and that will make it more promising that my rims will fit.
I went with EBC Yellow stuff, but they're about $140 a set...grip like mad though.
EDIT: rather than double-posting, I'm just editing this one. I think it should be noted in the first post NOT to use F-body bolts because they're too short. I've recently had an issue partially because I used them and it ended in the destruction of my driver's side caliper (link to thread). I'd also include the suggestion of thread-locker for people like me who don't default to using it.
