I lifted the front, put the front jackstands under and then the back, and put the back ones under. You could do side and side though.

more importantly, how do the GSX brakes compare to the stockers in your opinion
I haven't got to test them out yet. I had to find a 9/16" x .10" tap to fix the holes in the caliper on the right side because they overtorqued the bolts into the caliper for shipment and I had to use an impact gun to take them out to disassemble them and the bolts and threads where ruined. I had to get two new caliper bolts and the little rubber bushing on the end of the top bolt because that wasn't included when I ordered the two, not to mention those three things together were almost $30.

My bleeder screws were broken off into the holes during shipment so Gilee gave me a little money back for new bleeders. I had to extract those studs, then I ordered some Speedbleeders. They sent me the wrong ones so I mailed those back, and I'm waiting on the correct ones to arrive....

So, I should know if the braking was worth it soon enough.

your rotors sit absolutely flush with the hub, right? like... if you look inside one of the extra holes on the hat, you can tell theres no space between hat/hub?
This should be the case once the lugnuts are torqued down, and not neccessarly otherwise. Also, the holes in the rotor could be tapered, so it may look like they arn't flush even though the rotor is.

Will do bro, I'll swing by as soon as my bleeder screws get here and I can take my car of the jackstands.
