Default Front calipers for use of Weld Draglites?

Do any sponsers sell any aftermarket calipers so i could use a WELD Draglite without compromising my health or others when i have to grind the stock calipers for these rims to work?

You'll need front and rear drag calipers if you want them to fit easier.

Jay Billingsley can help you with your caliper/rotor/pad needs>>>

If you don't want to purchase new drag calipers/rotors/pads, you can always pick up our Bogarts as they are made to fit the stock LS1 setups.

Changing to the aftermarket brakes/calipers/rotors in addition to our drag brake setup wheels woudl be your lightest combo.

Yup, it's much safer to grind on the calipers and risk having them fail instead of the rotors.....

I'd find wheels that fit. Or, swap to LT1 brakes (I believe they will clear the wheels, but check on that first).

Be safe.
