Default Link to my write up how to install 15x3.5in Draglites on FRT of C5

Here is a little quick write up I did with some pics I took when making the Weld draglites fit on the front of my 2000 FRC. $1000 invested in everything. Hope this helps some people get some less expensive wheel options on for the street/strip.

Thats pretty cool, if it werent for having to bleed the brakes everytime I would get a set of pro stars for the track right now. But it does give me an excuse to buy all new rotors and calipers so I can recycle the old rears on the front for it.

I think I might have just found a use for the pro stars in my garage. Do you have any pics of the car on the grounds with the wheels on?

so you took rear calipers and put them on the front, just curious how did that effect braking? love the skinnies. sounds like a cool mod.

Braking doesnt seem to be much different for normal driving. I haven't tested the braking at 130mph which will be my approx trap speed with the bottle once it goes on. I'm not a big fan of hammering the brakes anyways. I'm not a big road course type person. Plus if I decide i dont like it, I can change back in about 1hour tops.
