Looks great Mike! 
Very long wait but worth it.
Wondering when the other MovIt customers were going to "out" themselves
A few other folks need to post some pics, probably too busy doing 150 eighty to zero stops trying to get them bedded in...lol
I know there are some different color calipers getting installed.

I know someone I can test this with (Harry
) and will update the thread after I do. Might be a week or two though.With that said, the 396mm is such monumental overkill, I am sure they can fix you up with a different diameter rotor and you still have all the benefits.
After two more track days this weekend, I can reiterate that I totally and fully love my setup. My only worries in the brake zone is how well I can balance the car during trailbraking
and never about tail wag, soft pedal, or brake fade. Supremely confidence inspiring.

sometimes you have to use spacers, sometimes you don't have to use spacers.
some rims have profiles which intrude into the space occupied by the callipers, some don't, problem fixed with spacers. Don't worry about using decent spacers, they are used on top enduro racers without problems, I've never had a problem. Most winters my options are removing the brakes and fitting smaller rotors to clear my winter rims, or using spacers with my winter rims and tyres. The latter options always wins.

Hmmm, interesting. My OE wheels are 9"x19". Wonder if the GT3 offset/width vs GT3RS offset/width is why it won't fit?

I didn't realise he was on centre-locks. In which case he needs to try different rims for clearance. It may be worth checking out with Guido to save some time trying known misfits.
Most of the time, I've had problems with calliper clearance rather than rotor clearance.

Thanks everyone for your input
Tom has been great in running around in the background on this issue for me
Worst case for me may be to run out and get some new rims (hard to convince the financial controller of the benefit then though!)

I'm going to do a test fit with a friend next Wednesday to get you a concrete answer on this. We'll try on an OE 8.5x19" centerlock wheel. Exactly what you have.
