Deep Dishes ... Bitches
Thanks. What other picture do you want?
Driver side front sits about 3/8" lower than passenger side because the sway bar mount is bent (replacement on its way). I went with the 315's all around for several reasons. Better handling, better looking, tires can be rotated. So far I've been pleased with the NT05's compared to 555 R1's and R2's. Not as sticky, but less road noise, better MPG, and hopefully better wet. I was close to getting NT01's but this is a daily driver and I wanted some semblance of control when it rains. The increased tread life doesn't hurt either.
Front:
1LE Springs
35mm solid sway bar
Koni SA on lower perch (-3/4")
Global West upper A arm
Bob Bishop Corvette brake conversion
1/8" wheel spacer
Arp studs
Rear:
1LE springs (no isolator, but added hose to bring up rear 1/4inch) Moser 12 bolt
1LE (21mm) sway bar
Bilstein HD
BFH, rolled lips, delete bump stop spacer, faced 1/3 off bump stops
LG adjustable Panhard bar
7.75 backspace works but requires a spacer for the corvette caliper. I was hoping that a spacer wouldn't be required. I suggest an 8.00 inch backspace for anyone trying this setup with C5 calipers. Still needs a spacer, but the scrub radius would be smaller and it reduces the risk of tire/fender interference.

Thanks. A few years ago I used to drive in road race timing and open track events. Between loose gravel and going off track a couple times I decided to add the flaps to protect the paint. I used to have another two flaps in the front, but I could never get over how stupid they looked. The ones in the rear I can handle .. for now.
Couldn't find a good side view. Maybe this weekend.

I wanted extra rolling mass and wind resistance up front in order to slow it down. Car was way too fast and I needed some boat anchors to keep is slower and keep the front from lifting
Also, I like wearing out rack and pinions.
Thanks. Notch much more we can do with the hubs designed so far out.
I like them and would recommend them, but I havent dialed in the air pressure and I'm waiting to align the front end after I fix the sway bar mounts. The huge radial grooves seem to reduce the contact patch alot. My mileage went up 3 mpg switching from 555's and road noise is less.
