I love them, they stop on a dime. Great on the track! They really do live up to their name though (Wilwood=SqueekBrake)!

Just recently Found your build Browsing the meaty tire thread. I am running 245/40front and 265/40 back but I hate it for 2 reasons. I preferred the square and 265/40 rubs a bit. Will be joining you soon with the 265/35 all around soon, also on 18x9.5 et38 RPF1. Keep the posts coming, love your build !

edit:Quick Question. I am on ST coilovers which have no camber adjustment. Will I need camber in the front and or fenders rolled to fit the 265/35? My rears are already rolled but there is a spot in the front near the side markers that sticks out and IDK if i'll rub. My car is lowered but not super low

Thanks for the kind words!

As far as the front goes, you will need a minimal amount of work. The spot near the side markers is the only spot you need to worry about. What I would do is shave the metal from the fender in that area, then just try it out and hopefully you'll be alright. If not, go back and shave some more. Make sure to tuck the edges back so that you don't tear up your tire if you rub. DO NOT try to roll the front fenders. If you let them rub out naturally, they will come out perfect on their own - better than if you were to roll them.

It really shouldn't need that much work though, it sounds worse than it is. Just take your time and you'll be okay!

I should have it torn down completely this Friday, then I'll hone and start putting it back together over the weekend!

No, but I was starting to lose compression. Going with forged internals & more boost!

What exactly do you mean by shaving the metal and letting them roll naturally? Sorry if it's a noob question, I am not an expert with body work.
