Pics of my Aerospace lightweight Brake conversion Turned out pretty nice. I have heard many people say good things about the Aerospace kit and heard a few bad things. I thought I would give it a try and see for myself. 
Took me a couple of hours for the install. I must say I like it.

tony, could you post a pic of where you grinded on the ear?
also this setup doesnt come with a dust cap? hate that rusty (though you painted) oem part showing with that pretty brake setup. i am going with the same setup. from what i hear its a 30 lbs difference. the strange is 50 lb less due to the aftermarket spindle area.

Here is a pic of the ears you have to grind off and smooth down the knuckle.

I have those Tony and am happy for the most part. Make sure you check the bolts that hold the calipers together. Mine lossened up and allowed all the brake fluid to push out between the halves. Luckily it happened as I was setting the line lock for the burnout rather than at the other end as the pedal dropped right to the floor. Other than that, I like mine.
