I'm hoping for 10.8's or better on gas. I just won't be able to do much until tax season comes around. This car is dying for a 12-bolt or 9in.

Surprisingly, I have not cut or rolled the fenders. Now I have removed the bump stops and given it the BFH for the 17x11 ZR1's that I have. The rear shocks are so stiff that it doesn't move much over bumps, but I do plan to roll the fenders before I put the street trim back on it.

Haven't had time with school and work. I don't think I will be back out until next season. By then the nitrous will be on the car along with the TQ arm and hopefully a rear end. My best times with the rear stock height is in my sig though.

where on the rear, did you have to use the BFH at? I can see, what Im going to have to do that, with the new wheels I picked up today. When you remove the bumpstops, do you have to remove the bracket and everything? Or just the pad?

On a few cars that I have done, I had to remove the mounting bracket and atleast 1/2 of metal upstream. Just to clear some of the larger tire/rims on the even a stock width rear. Some were even a 15x12 wheel and need more material removed.

Thanks Rob. I've got a 15x10 ,7.5 BS and will probably run a 275/60 tire. I bolted the rim up tonight and it looks like its going to be close with a tire on it. The rear end is a stock width, but its an S60.
