OK.., here's the update and pics. 

The brackets for 16" wheels will utilize a modified ST bracket. A slight clearance modification for the inner brake pad is required to get the calipers to fit on the bracket. To fit such a large caliper however under the stock 16" wheel there is no why to do this without trimming the caliper mounting area. I went around and around with the engineer and there is simply not enough room. Trimming the bracket down will not allow enough meat to hold the bracket mount pin securely. So the calipers on future installations will need to be cut as well. Sorry guys.., this is the only way. 

Once I get the brakes on my car I'll post some more pics, performance data and parts list. 

Here's a few pics of where we are at thus far.
