What spec's did you go with on the rear? And would you mind posting some closer pics down the side of the wheel/car?

The guy who sold them to me had them on his ZL1, 17x11 is all I know. Yes I can get some more pics.

It's cool....if you get a chance...the next time they're off just pull a backspace measurement for us/me.

The guy who had a rubbing problem has an SS, ZLs have a different parking brake cable set up hence no issues on a Z.

All you have to do is cross the e-brake cables in the driveshaft tunnel and use a huge zip tie to attach the white e-brake cable slider to your trailing arms. Been good for 4 years.

Those Hoosiers are 26" tall though, so you'll need to get the 26" tall skinnys too.

Should be getting my car back this week, and with 750+hp at the rear wheels, its gonna be fun trying to hook that kind of power, but with the Hoosier slicks, it should be easier. I will keep you all posted on my results!!

Cooks ZL1 · 10-28-2014, 11:25 PM

Any updates on those wheels or track times?

Anyone know if there are any issues if you have the BMR LCA's? I'm also lowered 1"

I don't have the BMR LCA's but I talked to a BMR rep extensively. Lets just say with the amount of power I'm trying to harness my sway bar bolts are really hacking up my rims when I drop the clutch and the weight shifts to the rear of the car. I only have contact with hard launches....but I drag race some.

The main body of the BMR LCA has a little more room than the stock unit if the tire balance weights are hitting the main body of the control arm. The sway bar bolt has to stay in the exact same location for all of the cars so there is no real benefit if the only contact you have is from the sway bar bolt. BMR still recommends grinding to make it clear. Lowering 1" will change the base camber of the rear axle but should not affect any of the clearance issues....I say this in theory, maybe you should PM Stephen12zl1, he is running 17" rims and lowering springs.

I ended up going to the track with the slicks installed, but had issues with my clutch. Even with a Centerforce Dyad dual disc setup, something failed in the clutch/slave cylinder, and it wouldn't allow me to shift into 4th. At the top of 3rd gear, I was at 127mph and around 900', so after coasting through the lights, I was rewarded with a 11.20 @ 110mph. Ive been batteling with the shop that did the work, and they will not repair their work, so now I will be repairing it myself. Its gonna get fixed soon, and racing season is almost here!!!
