I'm running the stock 95 brake setup, with 16' Pony's right now. I wouldn't think switching to a 15' Prostar would have clearance issues?

I think those are a better buy than the ProStars. They are a little more money than the Weld knock offs, but they don't have any clearance issues with the brakes.

Hm... I may end up going with a set of Saleens possibly, 17' more than likely. That way I could upgrade brakes off of a Cobra maybe. Not sure, but I've got time either way, so it's all good. I can't stand the stopping power - or lack thereof, from my stock brakes.I have 15" ProStars. 15"x3.5" in the front and 15"x10" in the back. When I had stock brakes on my car, I had to take grinding wheel to the frames of the front brakes and take them down a little bit. Then I had to run about a 1/8" spacer that I got at Pep Boys. Not even close to fitting without some sort of spacer. It's not the end of the world, but I think the CCW wheels look better anyway, and it's not a whole lot more money. They are a hair heavier though.

My car's my daily. So far it's seen dragstrip duties only once every 2-3 months, and it's only 1/8 mile.I'm not a big fan of stock Cobra brakes. They seemed like a lot of unnecessary hassle last time I worked on them. They also don't have real floaters on them. Someone posted a set of Alcon Roush brakes not long ago, and they looked awesome, had real 4 piston calipers, and were priced pretty well. 17" wheels are going to suck for drag racing, though. I use Aerospace brakes, which suposedly stop as well as Cobra brakes, and will work with a 15" wheel. They were a bit of pita to install though. You have to cut the ears off the spindle, and drill mounting holes out of the old dustcover holes.

You're doing better than I am then, my car only makes to the track every 2 or 3 years.I'm not suggesting anything, just giving you some information on what will work with what.
