Default Pics of Prostars w/ 325/50 MT drag radials

Here's what I've been working on the past couple of days. Clearancing the rear wheel wells for these and installed longer ARP wheel studs in the front hubs. The latter was a bear to do without a press. The frame rails on F-bods are stout! Wore my *** out with an 8 pound sledge.

nope, It is stock width however. Moser 9, 35spline, detroit locker/4.11s Still have the stock sway bar under there though. Ditching that for a Wolfe single anti-roll bar after I get my new torque arm.

Looks good minus the tail lights. Those need to go. Other than that, did you grind the front calipars? And how much? Doesnt look like you used a spacer, as they are set in the wheel well a decent amount.

My stock tail lights were warping pretty badly when it was a daily driver. The side-exit pipes, because noone else has them and it sounds unreal. The boom tube it's self is actually a spin-trap muffler. Pics below.

I know the tail lights suck but they were the best ones out of all the ugly aftermarket tails! I will post up pictures after I tint them black with the Nightshade stuff. I think it'll look much better. On the front calipers, no grinding. I don't remember the size of the spacer I used for sure but it's not big.

Here's some pictures outside of the garage.

It may just be that its on a hill, but what size front tires are you running? I'd be very careful running my nose that low! Looks insane man!

As for the side pipes, they look clean. I have a friend that runs a Dr. Gas boom tube setup on his road race 97SS. It looks and sounds "insane" like you said.

It's not just the hill, it is pretty raked. 24 x 4.5 et fronts. Saving weight! lol Thanks for the compliments.

I was gonna ask why your front is so far down as well. I'm running the same wheel setup on my Trans am. I think they really set off the car. I used to run 18" zo6 staggered on my camaro but nothing looks meaner then big and littles. With 15" on the back.

Do you throw ABS, and brake codes with that much of a difference between your front and back heights?

Im guessing he does. I throw them with a 26" front and 28" rear. Im sure a 24" front and 28" definatly would.

Nope. Don't have ABS.

Small tires, less weight. And I think it looks better than a 26" Notice how the front wheels look bigger than the rears just because of the tires?

Yep, I'm that guy. But the more I think about it the more $$$ the damn T56 and fried clutches are going to cost. I've been looking into a 4L80E..we shall see.
