Thanks bud. Do you have the link for that thread??
Kind of a noob on here and can't find it.

Also would that setup work with cm springs??

TheDom

Btw, just saw your FCOTM thread Wert.

The only 17" slick you'll find in the proper height is the M&H 245/45/17. Even still that's a little on the tall side. But for a 17" wheel that's as small as you're going to get in a true slick.

TheDom

Yeah wert

EXsoccer do you think that would work with me on cm springs??

EXsoccer1921

Couldn't say.

TheDom

Ok, I dont have the springs installed yet. Perhaps I should look into some adjustable konis to run with them.

TheDom

Does anybody make a smaller wheel that would clear the brembos??

Don't believe so. And when you get a flat in the front. You have to put the spare on the rear and move the rear wheel to the front hahah. Silly Brembos.

TheDom

Well my car didn't come with a damn spare so im sol either way

Alright man what do I have to do to run a damn slick on this car haha??

LSJ brakes. Or 17"s and the M&H.

I can tell you right now that a nice lsj brake setup will compete the the Brembos any day. If I still had ABS I know I could stop just as quick as an sstc and I'm on 10" LS rotors.

TheDom

Ok I know wert mentioned ion redline wheels and ive read that the ssna wheels would work as well but which year redline wheels should I be searching for??
Are there any aftermarket 17's that'll work??


Such a damn pita.

No idea. Everyone I know always went the right way with LSJ brakes.

TheDom

With the lsj brakes is there any grinding of the calipers involved??

TheDom

And could I then run a smaller wheel/bigger slick??

EXsoccer1921

iTrader: (14)

A slight amount. And by slight I mean hardly at all.

EXsoccer1921

Run a 15" wheel with a 24.5" slick.

TheDom

Ok thanks for all the help man I really appreciate it.
I'm wanting to get slicks on her by next month before the weather turns, do you know where I can pick up some lsj brakes??
What all does the swap entail??

TheDom

The brand ***** in me is fighting me on getting rid of the brembos however it the swap would help me produce better et's then im all for it.

Need rotors, calipers, pads, and lines. Not too expensive, it's just finding them. You can also use your current hubs.

Do you road race at all? Track days? Autox?

TheDom

No autox but my instructor does (im in school for automotive technology) and he's constantly pushing me to race with him.
