Looks great. Not too shaby on the 60ft for a shakedown pass.

It chattered the tires a little on the launch. I think the suspension is right just gotta play with the tire pressures.

Why you need 17s? The right offset 15 won't clear?

I realized last Saturday when I was cruising, going around a corner, that my front sway bar has been hooked up this whole time.

1.25 spacers will fit any cheap 15 inch drag wheel over those cobra brakes.

The spacers are like 50 bucks on eBay. The bolt on kind

After mounting wheels and tires at comp sales during and after high school and saw a bunch of wheels fall off due to broken wheel spacers. And the fact that this car lifts the front.

Nope. Not gunna run spacers.

It's not worth it to me. I like my wheels to stay on my car. Plus it's just better to get the correct wheels that fit with out spacers.

I know you need 1in spacers or 1.5 inch spacers to fit alumastars on the z06 stuff.

Think this car went 180mph and 7s or so with stock brakes and wheel spacers.

But maybe your right?
