Mine stops just fine. LSJ front and rear. Only custom parts were rotor centering rings. Hub centers are way different diameters.

Looks great!

Do you have a write up of your conversion or could you pm me the info on how you got it done? I'm looking into converting my car and so far all I've found is the $1500 SSBC kit. Thanks.

long story short, easiest/cheapest route to converting would be swapping the axles to ss axles?

LSJ stock replacement Centric front rotors and I machined the factory rotors that came with the rear trailing arm assembly. I plan on getting Powerslot Cryo's front and rear with Hawk pads for race duty.
