I had my hubs done on my 67
So I can just use ls1 rotors. The guy said it was just as easy as doing the rotor

Oh nice any idea how they did it ?

I can always ask the place. I would imagine I would have to remove the studs but its easy to put back in with a press

Thanks for the thought. Dropped them off at the machine shop today and he said yeah thats not a problem. So he is going to turn the hubs down to fit the rotor and bore the caliper bolt holes on the spindle since no one has a 9/16" drill bit

Good deal. I preferred this method because I want to be able to do emergency repairs at a track or on a road trip.

So the machine shop could not turn down the hubs since it require them to separate them and with the built In sensor and possible bearing separation we just bored the rotor.

Just enough clearance as you can see below, adapter for the reservoir came in for bleeding, hopefully next week

The setup is stunning but those damn mechanic eyes are trained to seek out the miserable issues

Sorry for the miserable quality pictures, took just under three hours with installation of the panhard and aligning the car as well. Very little hammering required to fit the 11" wheels and wasnt even required but for piece of mind.

Brakes are still bedding in but they are already biting harder, never felt tires like this, unbelievable traction.

i will get some better shots after it is washed and doesnt have dust frmo november

I'd imagine so. I got understeer at the limit on my staggered size tires, but I imagine those R compounds will be sticky enough that it doesn't matter 99% of the time.

Nonetheless, that look sweet! I can't wait to see that thing in person.

This thing won't see a road course. It's a meticulously maintained weekend warrior that gets taken to car shows, driven hard the way back, cleaned, then rinse and repeat.

I agree. I'm obsessed with my car all over again. The tires are fantastic, for my power level lol trying to stay away from doing anything while they are cold but so far warm they are by far the best thing I have ever had on this car. Way better then the nt05s I had
