What's this? A box? What could be in it? Confused




Shocked B-r-a-k-e-R-o-t-o-r? Why that looks mighty thin for a thirdgen rotor.




This looks promising!




Oh my! Does that tape measure say 13" ?! Laughing



Slowly gathering parts. Now I need calipers/carries and the special funky brackets. And then wheels. Dammit. Very Happy

Hmm... now what does Ian have planned? And why would he need so much rotor just to stop a 305.... Wink

Sweet Ian. Which setup are you going with? (and which wheels!)

I'm going with the c5 setup even though I've heard of the caliper spread issue. Wheels are still undecided. I'd really like some fikse fm10's


or classic CCW




But I have no where near the cash for that! Laughing

I may end up running stock 4thgen ws6 5 spokes or some vette wheels.

Tony, you got first dibs on these wheels when I go to sell them. On the condition I'll be the first to buy them back if you ever sell them.

Ian, you don't want a set of these?

I love these wheels... I'd love to have a set for myself later on

Those look cool and all but if I went for a completely custom set I like the lace look better than the 5spoke design, ala the BBS LMs.

Everytime I see those wheels I think of that twin roots blown black c3 vette convertible the guy had built out in issaquah or something and then sold it because "he was too tall"

*cough*

Holy sh*t. The majority of third-gens don't cost as much as those wheels. And they're not even that good looking.

They are worth it though, proven to add 30 to 45 horsepower boost. And cool points. Razz

I really dug the CCW's that were on that Black Vette that Ian showed us. They look good on GTA's. Never seen em on a regular camaro, but I'd probably dig em.

Laughing Somehow I knew you'd know who I was talking about. Those are 17's all around, right? Do you know width?

The hex ones aren't bad, but I don't like wheels with real thin spokes like the 505s. Looks way to damn ghetto.
