I think the bumpstops have to be cut off

I still have my bumpstops on. Hammer is a must. **** is still tight. Adjustable LCAs and Panhard are not required from what I have read, but I have both and it's a lot easier to make them fit. I did it with just a hammer, an air hammer that is.

Like said above, its easier to accomplish with adjustable suspension parts. I kept my bump stops, BFH'd the lower front of the inside of the wheel well, and rolled the fender lips with an Eastwood fender roller tool. They look great, but I already told the new owner that I'd go with an M&H or Hoosier version as the M/Ts are VERY heavy. The M&H and Hoosiers are much lighter options.

Much easier with adj. LCAs and panhard and of a BFH. I switched from MTs to Hoosiers and they are much lighter . Although the 60' stayed the same(1.29-1.31) on a prepped track, it does hook ALOT better on a unprepped track. These pics are after I narrowed the rear but the fitment was the same before.

I have a set of 15x10 with a 7.5 BS for my 98 Z28..Did you have to grind your calipers for the wheels to fit?? Just wondering if i should get drag brakes or will grinding the calipers hurt my stopping power? I've heard pros and cons about the grinding mod ...

I run 15 x 10 weld pro stars. 7.5 bs. I ground stock calipers and use a 5/16 spacer.

How much is your rear end narrowed? Also what is the rim size and backspace? Thanks

Are those hoosier radials in the pinks picture? They are wrinkled pretty good for a drag radial

Sorry its not the best picture to show off the width.

Like said above adj panhard bar and LCA's make it a lot easier. I had to beat the crap out of the inner wheel well toward the front and roll the fender lips, but the car still has bumpstops and has some wiggle room left. Its rubs occasionally getting in and out of my drive way if I don't go in at the right angle.
