Oh ok thanks, becuse I would like to use Bullit/ Cobra rear disk brake set up one mine, and i was really surpised with your setup, seeing as traction will be an issues down the road once the cars done

I've got to say, that's quite a bit of tire lol. Looks sweet. One question...you didn't modify your spring locations? In the picture from the underside rear, it looks like they're cocked at a pretty good angle lol. Is this an optical illusion? I'm only running a 275/50atm, but when I go to the bigger motor, I'm going to want more tire as well.

BTW, thanks to Mikemustang289 for pointing this thread out to me =).

Appreciate it bud.
