Heres what he said on local forum: "Legend calipers are installed in the same orientation as stock Legend but bleeder is pointing down because they're on the front-side of the spindle. When you bleed you just unbolt the bottom, rotate it up, and stick a 2x4 or something in there. Mini Cooper rotors (non-Type S) have the same center bore (57.1?) and bolt pattern but the lug holes are like 16mm so I machined spacers to take up the difference. OD on the rotors is like slightly under 11".

i read something about flipping the calipers so the bleeders on the bottom but one person said it mad it pointless because its not supposed to work that way, also im trying to stay away from spacers and all that stuff, but it sounds interesting. i wonder what it looks like

this is an awesome upgrade too but a lot more work, you need to actually down grade to 10.3" rotors to run 16" wheels
