I installed the ST 380/355 DIY and it took longer than expected. I took 6 hrs, not including bleeding the brakes afterwards. The trimming of dust shields was done with a 35K Multi-speed Dremel with EZ-lock cutting wheel. The Dremel cuts through the dust very quickly, and I used a hand file to smooth and remove burs afterwards. I took frequent breaks as working without a lift was killing my back. All I can say is I'm glad it is done, and now I will need a couple days of rest for my lower back. I placed my 18" track wheels on instead to check for any clearance issues. The Apex Arc-8's fits around the 380's with about 3-4 mm clearance. I have not yet done bedding-in but there seems to be adequate stopping power for normal driving.
