Haha, well I'm not going to drag race near as much next year myabe one or two outtings. My main focus is road course racing so I'm going to see how the wilwood bbk front/'93T rear combo works out. I mean the rear '93+turbo brakes have a little over 11" diameter rotors so they aren't small by any means compared to the 13" (12.8" to be exact) rotors up front. But I have a slick/skinny drag set-up on 15" drag wheels and the rear '93's barely clear them.

You're doing this with great care, take your time Josh... awesome stuff!
haha Yeah it's great stuff and I recommend it to everyone! I used Duplicolor truck bed liner as it replicated the hard urethane undercoating that originally came on the car. Then the areas that didn't have the lining I used a Duplicolor high heat ceramic semi-gloss as when it cures it's very thick and very tough.

Oh and yeah I have my car lowered quite a bit. Basically as much as my fenders allow me to do. The roads here are nice and speed bumps aren't an issue as they are very subtle. I never have issue with any sort of scrapinging luckily. I like the look of the loooooww stance.

Oh I'm being very thorough on this stuff. Everything has to be very precise and I'm paying attention to fine detail. Trust me! hah
