That's great!
On the big 6-piston front calipers on my Audi, they have 3 different size pistons (intended to even out pad wear or something like that). Just to confirm, the C6Z calipers use just one size piston?
I also had to swap bleeders and crossovers on mine, because they're intended for a different application. But unlike yours, mine were used and 1 bleeder was seized, and one crossover was nearly seized.

Also i found a thread on here where guys have swapped sides.

Home stretch. I need to grab a barb and t to fix how I have the catch can plumbed.
Install the mid pipe. Sway bar, fill it with fluids. Plugs will be in Tuesday. Run through everything and then it'll be time to see if it runs.
Once I make sure its a good motor ill have my tuner come over and ill swap to the ls2 tb.

I would plumb the LS6 valley tray to the in on the can, then the out of the can to the intake manifold. Then take the air line from the bridge to the passenger valve cover and plug the port on the back of the drivers side valve cover.

Radium stuff is really nice, but unless you are having some weird fuel delivery or pressure issues I wouldn't bother. How would you mount it? That one in particular is a direct mount but they do have an inline.

The way i saw it done is you put your crossover line in the back of the intake and mount it out front on the end of the rail.

That's the pic i saw on here. my feed would have to be at the front of the driver side rail if i did that though, since i don't have a port on the side like these.
