ls1fbody; those wheels look hot! Good luck with the rest of the project, can't wait to see picks.

I have a question, anyone else jump in if you know. I am doing the Brembo swap with my front brakes on my 06' ss/sc. I am keeping the stock wheels for now. What kind of spacer do I need? (size/part#/Brand) What different length studs do I need? <--Planning on going with ARP for the studs. Any recommendations, you seem to have the brake/suspension thing down. Thanks

if you don't go beyond a 5mm spacer all you need is the spacer.

Sweet! I gotta figure out how I am going to size this up. Don't have all my tools to do swap so struggling to figure out how much space I am going to need.

it was like 80 bucks. 10 per tire for mount, same for balance. I actually got a little bit of break because he charged me for a normal wheel, and the boss guy actually went out and did mine himself because it takes a lot of skill not to **** up the paint on the lip of the wheel.

looks great man, not so good at reading the french. This is a little more than just a caliper swap though. Brembo's just happened to be an upgrade.

nothing wrong with a 2.5" pulley.

No updates yet, just waiting on the parts to arrive now.
