If you buy a new set of wheels, it is almost a given that you have your car lowered or you are going to.
Why do you lower your SC's? Because a great coilover setup dialed in way low looks great to many of us and handles way better than stock.

Why do you consider the pin stripes "cheesey"? (Goodkat) Ask Goodkat but I prefer the SC without.

Why do you change to LS400 brakes? 4 piston as opposed to two (better stopping power). Looks great!

Is there any place on this site to decipher the acronyms used? Even Google chokes on some of them:roll eyes: What acronyms specifically?

Your suspension is seriously worn if you are scraping with a stock suspension. All lowered cars don't scrape. Thats part of the skill in lowering/fitment, not scraping.

Good luck with your build and welcome to the club!
I apologize for missing you in my initial response, as I appreciated your direct and specific answers - they were very helpful. So, yes my suspension needs updating, and I've been researching the Gixxer Drew approach...and I jettisoned the pin-stripes...

OP: just thought I'd let you know that in the latest Hot Rod issue (0615) there is a very good article on brakes & why we go to bigger brakes for various track & road use. They use an El Camino for test purposes but the info is good for all cars.

Gixxer Drew has a GREAT reputation. If there wasn't a wait on the parts for me, that's what I would have. I went with BC Racing and love them but wonder what GD would have been like.
Nice move on the stripes. The car will be awesome!
