I got the 8.25 and just had to trim on a sliver from the backing plate. When you get the discs on you will feel immediate pleasure with the extremely noticeable stopping power. You will also be able to stop 35" tires with ease.

Hey that sounds like an awesome mod! I've got the 8.25 also, what year grand did you snag all the parts off of? And thanks for sharing this!
