Rollin on dubs -5

Finally decided on some wheels.
Rota RB w/gold centers and polished lip: 15x8, 4x100, et+04, 67.1 hub bore with rings to bring it down to 57.1

Tires to be:Hankook rs2 225/45/15


Also finally figured out what to use for the rear suspension.

Bilstein 2" large body race shocks, 230/78 linear valving with coilover sleeves and upper perch for 2.5" inside diameter coil springs. 10inch, #200 springs on order.

Next up:

Install complete Massive/Wilwood brake assembly.

Mount tires and drop car on wheels to check for clearances(with fingers crossed).

Fabricate mounts for rear shocks. Reinforce rear strut towers to support upper strut mounts.

Roll car back and forth just because i can.

Fabricate mounts for, and install, wilwood pedal assembly.
