Well...that was a pain

Getting the brakes to allow a 15" wheel to fit. :banghead:
But I got one side done this morning.

Check out the difference.
Furthest tire = Nitto DR 315/35/17 (street)
Closer tire = M/T ET street 275/50/15 (track)
They are damn near the same width. Weird.

Caliper ground down. I will be repainting soon.
I will also get before and after pics tomorrow afternoon when I go after the passenger side so you can see how much comes off.

Damn, Every project I do lately seems to involve my grinder too :rolleyes:. Eh, as long as it gets done and work whats a few hours of firery metal shards flying in your eyes :) .

Glasses!!!

Kinda wish I had all afternoon to work on it and just get it done, but I don't.
For track use I will just run my stock wheels (lighter) up front until my buyer gets them from me.

Did you paint up the calipers when you were done?

I am not going to mention any names but one of the moderators on this site has forgotten how to read, lets think. Who could it be :dunno: . This could be a toughie :icon16:

haha my bad, I didnt see that there

prostars are the sex tho so it's all good

how do the 315s feel on your car? i can get 'torque thrust II' rims.. with 275 in front, 315 in back... for 800. with tires..

are they totally worth it?

plus, my front tires are wearing thin..

i got 275 front/285 back right now.

Awesome! I bet the cruise in the rain was fun!

Your TA looks awsome, but do you have pictures of the 'vette also?? :)

Pretty stable.

Required LCA's and LCA relocation brackets to get rid of the rubbing though.

Curtis, whose Vett is that next to your car? It's nice from the top veiw... Are you selling the new wheels you got a couple months ago? Or are you talking stock as in the ones that came with the car?

ohh, what are LCAs?

just googled, lower control arm?

The Corvette is a 2002 Z06.
Drove it yesterday. It is my roommates.

I am eventually selling the stockers. I have a buyer.
I am not selling the TTII's.

Yup.
They keep the rearend from rocking even a little. Helps plant the car nicely.

Just curious, how do you compare it to your T/A, perfomance and driving wise.

UMI = teh hotness

He runs a full second slower in the 1/4 right now. And that was before I had gears and the Moser rearend.

We ran them on the street quickly once...this is his quote.
The owners exact words....
I didn't have to go redline when I knew it wasn't going to make a difference. Your car pulls like a mo-fo. Not a chance for me
I mean we both took off about the same time. Your car revs up so fast, I was still going to 6k rpm when you've already had a car lenght on me. It was over. Not that I thought I had a chance, I just wanted to see what it was like to have it handed to you by a 500+ rwhp monster!
