Karl obviously What I tried to say was that people do the opposite...rims first than brakes. Or rims first and no brakes at all. The main thing is that you do upgrade your brakes.

By the time the early 90's came around it has a 406 s/b, 4000 stall and 4.88 gears, drag suspension and cheater slicks and it was FAST, not mid 13's fast, but mid 12's fast and it weighed 4000 lbs "THEE" Roger R USMondeo@aol.com 2005 Crossfire Limited coupe' -FOR SALE @buyout price & I'll... -throw in my 93' Regal as winter car Dragon Run 06'...Oct 12-15th Puur-fection Auto Detailing Complete packages from $140.00

Karl But, sometimes the wheels need to come first if the brakes they plan on getting do not clear the stock wheels and they can't afford to do the complete upgrade at once. Not that that's the case here, but just saying. 1999 SVT Contour 2003 Honda Pilot 2005 Toyota Tundra
