Yeah, but nicely warped rotors can give your right foot a great massage!

I guess it wouldnt really be a daily driver, just a weekend kinda car.
I'm going to sound like a broken record because I've said this already


friends don't let friends roll on salad shooters

I would be glad to.... however, this will require you to explain to my wife why Im spending more money tires when I just bought a new set of 4 last month. Next, youll have to send me the 1000 dollars or so it will cost me to buy new wheels and tires... until then youre just gonna have to like what I have.

I actually have a set of Z06 wheels and tires, but theyre off of my Z06 so I dont think the offsets will work... I put HRE 545's on my Z06.

The Z06's might fit fine, most replicas run with a 53-56mm offset; that will fit up to a 9.5" rim.

If you want to do some more good for your brakes, bleed the system and install some stainless steel flex brake lines -- I went with Goodridge -- firm up that pedal feel and stop more reliably. Assuming you do what I mentioned in my previous post. Be sure your caliper slides are in good shape an well lubed too!

Look around on that site, they have a lot of cool useful stuff.
Not sure if sarcastic, or actually recommending product
