Snapped a few photos of the red dragon on the drag wheel setup. Summit stars with et street radials.









Thanks for looking,
Craig

You can muster all the support you want, it doesn't change the fact that it makes you a piece of ****, and deep down inside you know it does.

When you are ready to mail the check, I can provide my address. Otherwise, I am sure we will run into each other one day and you can write it in person.

Thanks for the kind words guys It leaves great on the street with the radials, especially after i swapped the 4.10's in. Can't wait to see how it 60's at the track.

Are you gonna drive those stars on the street a lot? I'm just curious as to their strength on the street (I have the fronts and am getting the rears soon).

They drive great on the street! I've put over 1k on this setup and have had no problems at all. I really love the look and how they feel. Only one thing I can say is to remember when your on slicks and skinnies to be careful on the street.

stick with the body kit, i always thought they looked good and intimidating for a factory kit. car looks great on that setup, get a sunoco hood, black turn signals/sidemarkers and youd be set

Thanks! I am going to do the turn signals pretty soon, already on the to-do list. I have been tied on what kinda hood i want. I thought about a cowl hood, but im not sure just yet. I am definitely going to ditch the lip spoiler and do the SS spoiler though.

How much did that run you and did you have to do any grinding?

No offense but those wheels look small. It might be the camera angle. What size are they?

Good choice Mickey's hook like a bitch !!!!

They are 15x4's in the front with 205/60/15's and the rears are 15x8's with 5.5" of backspacing. The rear tires are 275/60/15 M/T Et Street Radials which are about 28" in diameter. The front's fit perfectly with no grinding but the rears required about 10 minutes per side.
