I was going to either do some cutting to make the clearance or put a limiting clamp on the rack to reduce steering angle, probably the latter since I'm not a drifter (nor are the massive tires ideal for that anyways) and full lock is typically not something needed on a road course...well at least not when things are going right
I felt these cars already turn on a dime and eliminating a few degrees of steering angle could easily be sacrificed to no ill-effects in my case.

I wouldn't call his pics "money shots" Imagine when the car is out of the shop with the orange sunset glaring off of it, overlooking something "artistic like" (like mountains or some old building) Now that will be a money shot, Thats still in the shop, in the dark... on a lift. Nowhere close IMO

Those will not work with the wide and offset tires you have under full steering lock as they will run into the firewall. This is particularly true with the vert since it has extra layers of reinforcement in that location. You will also quickly run out of space in at the front with the fender under full lock on the opposite side, though this is also very dependent on tire height and suspension travel.

Next post will be something new in about 30 mins.
Stay Tuned!

Buildup to a cu... er.... Money Shot!
I'm sure some of you have wanted to see this... I know I have!
Lets get busy!
Before I even did anything to the calipers & rotors I pulled the stainless braided lines that I had been using and installed the new lines.
Removed the old 1k mile used setup from the car:
I gave the hubs a shot of brake cleaner:
I stopped for a sec to take a couple pics of these seriously sweet brake lines:
Got wood yet? I'm not gonna lie, at this point I had a chubby!
You guys remember these right?:
Seems simple enough eh?:
Almost there, don't blow it yet!!
Dust shields are still there, the rotors are just bigger than they are! LuLz!
Stupid forum limits! Pics continued on next post!

Buildup to a cu... er.... Money Shot! Part 2
Lines buttoned up:
BOOM!
Don't mind the center hub cap, I've got something special coming to make that area look tidy.
Oh yeah!
Here is another money shot:

Moar!
Well, I wasn't gonna post these up until I had both sides done. But I think you guys will like these anyway.
Both sets of lights only have ~10v going through them in the pics. Once hooked up to the car battery they will be slightly brighter at 12v.
The LED Spotlights are not secured in the housing, hence the one of the 4 lights being at a different angle.
What do you guys think?
