Glad you actually went through with it. I thought you may have
bagged it since it has been a while from your original post.  I
think this mod is very appropriate for those going to bigger
rotors in the front.  Since you didn't offer a procedure, I assume
it's a straightforward R&R calipers deal. Having the pad size
remain the same is sweet.  Thanks for being the pioneer on
this one.

Has anyone installed an adjustable proportioning valve in their
5000/200? I'm trying to come up with a good location. It
would be nice to be able to tweak it while driving.
