I'm stuck half way in this conversion too, because my car is apart. I did notice however that the front brackets being sold right now place the caliper about 1/4" too far out so that the pads overhang the rotor edge. Mock yours up and check. I'm still contemplating either notching the mount holes to slide it in or getting aftermarket true 12" rotors.
the rest of what you describe sounds about right. Although I'm not sure why you need short axles? Seems like you just put the flange where you need it when converting.

getting the rear today
Sorry I meant longer axles (corrected). According to the assembly manual that is as per factory. Everything seems to be fine, and I will check the front calipers when I get the brackets. I'm still surprised nobody has documented this yet. If this all works out okay I'll take some pictures and explain what is needed in the conversion. I will check the rear final today and post my results, and I'm still waiting on axles. Any help would be appreciated!
