Installed the calipers. Everything bolted up fine and spacing appears correct.

I used the washer in between the bolt and hub.

Now I have to bleed the brakes

As long as the caliper is centered over the brake rotor, you're good. :thumbup:

Just took it out for low speed testing and then some light pad bedding.

Everything seems to be working just fine. I am going to remove the front wheels and double check all the bolts and what not but the pedal feel is great and there is less vibration/noise in the front end compared to previously.

Excellent work! I'm very impressed. This seemed like a daunting project but I'm thrilled with your results. :thumbup:

Thanks for the nice words gents.

Took it out again for a puttering around my block and no issues or leaks. Overall pretty happy... slightly disappointed with the Hawk HPS 5.0s on initial impression but I think I can bed them in better - we will see.

If you have one of those Motive power bleeders, try that. I love using it now after doing some modifications to make sure the cap (universal) cap seals -- ie. 2 c-clamps clamping it down.

I do not have one of the motive bleeders.

What is the clamp modification you're referencing? I am considering picking up one of the bleeders after doing some quick research.
