Got the rear ARP studs installed:
Milled the OE Brembo 2 piston calipers:
Installed with new rotors:

Stasis
So the proper offset hats are in production but x months out.. Instead of waiting I had a couple of .060" spacers laser cut that sit behind the hats spacing the entire hat/rotor out.
Jared@Stasis swapped out the 28mm rotors for 32mm rotors free of charge.
The main issue all along has been a miss-communication about the calipers. The mono6 I'm using has a 38mm centerline to radial mount whereas the mono4 is available in 36mm or 38mm. Initial conversations with Stasis indicated they were using the 38mm. Turns out they use the 36mm. So I'm still .0787" offset. That's fixed by milling .040" off of the caliper bracket. Swapping out the .060" hat/rotor spacers for .020".

Suspension
Installed a roll center & bump steer correction kit:
Finally got the Bilstein coil overs put together and installed
Fronts are based on PSS9s with different spring rates and valving
Rears are motorsport coilovers with custom upper mounts that I made
Shrader valve just clears!
The bolts are impossible to reach by yourself so I tacked them in place
Rear installed
The rear shock is inverted to reduce unsprung weight too
Front installed
Lowered to car 1" up front and .750" in the back for a 26" arch to ground at all 4 corners. Going to align it in the AM.
Stasis is sending out a new hat and rotor set with proper offset. They actually are sending a 370mmx32mm rotor rather than their normal 28mm rotor. More weight but also more thermal mass :)
