I originally thought a brake system designed for a 580hp car will be fine for a car with half the power. That's like short shifting a ZL1 at 3000 rpm. It didn't made sense to me at first but I gave...

My understanding is larger brakes lower temperature and allow for less aggressive pads to be used on track. If 6-piston Brembos allow V6 cars to use stock pads on track, that will save the hassle of...

Don't pull it. It'll just twist off counter clockwise. The tab is a stop to prevent over tightening.

8.5" will work great with 245/45 tire and give you plenty of alignment options. Have you look into other ZL1 replica options? 20x10 will work with 275/40 as well.

I didn't realize the pads were that cheap. Without changes to alignment or suspension geometry, caliper and sway bar will travel on the same arc so they will hit no matter what. It'll take 1.3" more...

Thanks for posting this even though it was hard to read. About 20% stiffer spring rate, slightly stiffer stabilizer bars, and stronger mounting points (end links?) are interesting.
