You should have saved the $700 for brakes to make Welds fit. For money invested in Welds and those brakes you could have bought a set of Bogarts that require NO grinding and look and fit excellent!

Yea I also know that, I lost a very good deal of 1500 bogarts and slicks by the time I didnt have money now Ill keep those welds and when I have money for bogarts will sell them, still not bad to get new brakes though

I would have used the search button (as I did when I got Welds) and knew everything before I even ordered the wheels.

Oh..... those calipers are toast.

I know "big and littles" are popular here, but I would certainly never hack up the calipers up like that.

I know I am going to get flamed for saying this, but I fail to understand the reasoning for "big and little" beyond looks anyway.

Seriously, aren't you killing the car's cornering ability with such small narrow tires on the front end?????

Yea, you severly limit cornering at any sort of decent speeds, but they are designed for light weight and slicks, not for looks. They are ugly! (minus the CCW Drag Pack!!)

Heres a pic of my stockers ground. I ran these for a couple years with no problems...


I have the front calipers already ground for good price if you need em. Just so you know on the aerospace kit you have to grind the spindle also but you dont want to get crazy. Take your time and take a little bit of material off at a time. I just installed a set of the aerospace brakes yesterday. Heres a pic



I have more pics in the drag racing tech section, if you need help on the install send me a message.
