Any intrest in lowers to clear 15 inch drag wheels

If we have enough intrest we could get some lowers for the rear that would allow a 15 inch drag wheel to be used.I have the head fabricator from a top nascar team that builds a arms and chassis daily working for us and if theres enough intrest i think we can get these done in a timely manner at an affordable price.We would need about 12 or so guys to make this a reality.Please post up if your seriously intrested,thanks.

I already have some lowers that will clear a 15" wheel

I would be VERY interested in a lightweight brake kit that would clear a 15" wheel and still use the OE parking brake.

Sweet ,

If your lca design works with a stock length shock I may be interested in that as well. My design calls for a shorter shock which I have not spent the money on yet.

If you make this you will more than likely sell more than 11 lol.

What would it cost, spending my coin on a cam this year. But if you made this, it would be the next part on my list! Build them, they will sell... you know how bad I want a 15" with a 10.5 slick for this car I am sure there are a ton of people that want this.

Tom, I'd be interested in lowers that would clear too. I have a set of 17's that don't clear the upgraded lowers that were supposed to work. If necessary I'd buy all 11 and resell.

Get some prices together for a whole kit to swap from 20s to 15s.

Ill get my car in the shop and will see what we need to do.Im waiting on performance friction to get back to me on the brake set up,it would be nice to have light weight small brakes that will stop a 4000lb 160mph car,those v6 brakes scare me

I pieced together a "kit" with Wilwood part numbers. I would be Fabbing my own caliper brackets, and the smallest diameter rotor they make to fit that hat was a 12.88", Smallest wheel I could fit with that setup would be a 16".

If you can get an aftermarket brake company involved that would be great!

Thanks!
Brad
