Default Just ordered a MWC 9"!

I will be driving down to Pekin in approx 6-7 weeks to pick it up with my truck when it's finished. If there's anyone else in the area that's ordering one and doesn't want it shipped let me know and I'd be willing to pick it up for you if you share in the gas cost.....

I live in Harvard Illinois just NW of Chitown.

Can't wait to install it!

I'm only going to be around 450rwhp so I didn't go overboard, in fact Eric told me that my original request had some unnecessary stuff so I dropped them; pretty cool when a vendor doesn't try to screw you.

I got: base package, side filler, Trutrac 3ch abs, yukon gear, PST steel 3" ds, ds loop and black powder coating.

Someone needs to talk me into narrowing it 3" both ends

I'll need to know where to buy some 17x11" black ZR1's to match what I have now; which I believe are 9.5"s.. What backspacing should I use? Does narrowing effect the brake line length?

Would I have to go to wider drag radials or would the 275's I have now work on an 11" rim?

Anybody have pics of 17x11 ZR1's on a narrowed Camaro?
