RE: Brake Upgrading....
Well, sexiest, most functional Drag racing wheel... I can think of a handful of other more functional wheels, just not for the straight and narrow...
What about hub-centric wheel spacers?? I'm not sure the regulations on what's there, but I do recall that Hub-centric are past DOT approval, and should simulate your actual hub while driving, just a bit further out...
Cheap case scenario though, spend $400 on some decent vented rears w/ some Porterfield R4-S pads, Some stainless lines and that's it... Just keep an eye on the rear calipers, since all of the ones I've seen had issues w/ guide pin functionality...
mylongvictor: Are you planning on getting a Line-Lock??

Unless you don't mind installing the rear's yourself, there is a link here on how to, it is very hard though to do yourself, its like 300-450 for the install...for just the rears. I was looking at getting them installed, but they are still sitting in my garage.
