          Unless you have the skills and tools to modify a cheaper kit or buy parts you won't find anyone doing you any favors and you will have to pay market value.

            So, the top caliper bolt stays stock and only a bracket is needed for the bottom bolt?

              Yes. The top edge of the knuckle did have to be rounded off, but thats it.

                Do you have a CAD model of the bracket you made for the lower caliper bolt?

                    Look at the pics in the first post, there seem to be bleeders in every corner.

                          I was gonna ask the same question... air sinks to the bottom to bleed? Haha...

                            Well, one bleeder per piston it seems.

                              The beeders are at all cornors because the calipers can go on either side. Theres no left or right. Only the two top bleeders need to be bleed.

                                What's the part number of the Racing Brake rotor? Is it for a Miata? They sell different versions with different offsets...

                                Also, what's the part number of the Wilwood caliper?
