Yea, I bought the fronts on black Friday quite some time ago as well. Given how far apart I could have probably ponyed up for some welds but if these hold up I'll be happy I think they look great. Really wanted a 10 inch out back but there just isn't clearance and I'm not grinding my brakes like some guys do to fit them
Well are you aware of Mickey scrapping some tires and doing a relaunch for 2015? I'll run their radial front runner tthat is 26x6r17 out back if they offer the new et street r in a 26 I'll run that
http://www.dragzine.com/features/sem...ew-tire-lines/I think he meant my lack of tires lol. Goin race me some trains !
Looks good, but traction is going to be a b!tch with that set up!
Actually they do look good, and what tires are you going with? I'd like to change my front skinnies this year and get the taller skinny that Mickey Thompson has now rather than the shorter one I have currently.

That was what I meant - and so your car will be "cornering on rails" then!

I think Jim meant no traction as it's pictured lol.
I laughed cause I was thinking the same thing.
EDIT: Ops, nevermind, late to the punchline again.

This is something I came across this morning. Might have something to save my pennies for. Shortblock and a single turbo kit maybe ? Leave the plate on in case I need it ?
