RE: Bigger Brakes with FOOSE
I have AP Racing front and rear brake upgrade kits, and Black foose nitrous 20"s.... catch brakes are in boxes on the garage floor until I get new wheels.
Its not just the valve stem, look at your clearance on the calipers with the factory calipers, no imagine the caliper sitting 1.5"-2" back farther.....You end up using spacers, and I tried that, to get it to fit I ended up need about a 15mm spacer, which put the wheels hangingn out weird. I do not have a pic but it was bad.
Yes the valve stem is an issue and you can have a smaller one put on, I have actually seen flush mount ones on a few of my friends hot rods, not sure where he got them though. I do know he got all of his wheels through Newstalgia so he may have gotten the valve stems from them as well.
I am actually going to take the 20" foose's off my car and put them in the garage until spring of next year and I am going to see about getting a set of 19" wheels instead.
Dex,
Its nice to see someone who dose not buy into all of the negative hype about a remote mount turbo kit, I had planned on going that route but they could not find a nice way to mount my turbos and run the pi[ing with the side pipes. Instead I ended up getting the Turbonetics kit.
