Re: What did you do to your boss today?
Installed the GT500 13.8" rear brakes. I used the Baer bracket 670-0183, (which is really an adapter bracket to push out the caliper about an inch) so I did not have to remove the caipers, or axles to do the install. No bleeding of the brakes or diff oil needed. The bracket cost was $85 each plus shipping from Baer in Arizona. Oh, you will need to get 4 bolts, M12 X 55mm long (I used 60mm, as that was all I could find).
Here is a picture with the Baer bracket installed. (of course it is the black one)

These brackets are the ones that come in the 14" Baer rear brake kit 226-2019. The GT500 Rotors are slightly smaller at 13.8", and therefore the brake pads are located right at the outer edge of the rotor. I hope this is not going to be an issue.
Here is a picture of the pad to rotor. (Pad extends about a 1/16th past the rotor)

I am going to try and get the 15" GT500 front brakes installed in the next couple weeks. They will involve bleeding the brakes.
