If the bumper is still giving you a hard time... heat gun!
Pics of my car...getting lots of makeovers. - 6G Celicas Forums
$20aud bucks and 30 mins to spare 
most of you guys know how to do this, so again Ill let the pics speak for themselves.
I couldnt be bothered so I sticked it between the adjustable spanner and yanked them out..
Taaadaaaa.....

Nice - she's coming along well. No spacers yet? They are taking twice as long as anything else I shipped but of course they have alot farther to go 
LMK when they get there and what you think of them.

Will do bro.

A small update as Ive just received the spacers from DEATH, Im very impressed with the quality and dimensions of his work.
If anyones doing the conversion and wishes a set for their rear caplipers I suggest contacting DEATH, his work is top notch

Sweet!!! They look like the were a perfect match up and you didn't need the shim kit I included. That paint should outlast the metal around it I'm told but you can LMK about that a few years down the road. I roughed up the spacers just enough for the stuff to take root so you shouldn't have any chipping or anything. The material is e4340 so plenty strong enough for this application.
So the full brake conversion is finished then right? Guess I better start gathering parts for my own

please update pictures in 2nd page (brakes install)
p.s.
what is the thickness of blue spacers?

Yes it is.
The more stopping power is not given by the surface contact (the resistence will be preety much the same if you have 1mq or 1cmq in contact), its given by resistence x half diameter. If you have the same caliper, with the same pads and different rotors the more powerful one will be the one that byte the rotor farther for thehub centre.
So, using bigger rotors with the same brakets is useless, but making a braket that make you use the full potential of a bigger rotor with the same caliper is the better option, giving the better result.

>I was going to do just that, but I decided against it because:
a.You will need to cut the mounting holes (areas) completely off as shown in the pic above, other wise the difference is too small to make a bracket.
b.You will not lose much (if any) surface contact even if you trim the rotor down to 297mm.
Heres why:
The outer circle is of course the original 315mm rotor and the inner circle is the 297mm trimmed rotor.
Now the surface contact between the pads and the rotor is in red, even if you extend the diameter and use the bigger rotor the surface contact will pretty much remains the same.
...and there is an advantage to the trimmed rotor, it weights less
let me know if my logic is wrong.
