Message	But you aren't using stock tires on these setups, they don't fit under stock wheels. Chances are you are not keeping the stock 225 tire width up front, I know I'm going to end up with 265s, and a compound that will be a bit grippier than what these cars came with. TBD on pedal feel. The increased volume of the pistons may actually make the pedal travel a little longer than normal and a change in brake master cylinder may be called for. Either way as you could see from the picture the brakes were in pretty rough shape on this car so I figured if I'm going to be spending any money on these I would rather sell what's on there and put that towards something better. Plus those 11" rotors look pitiful under any 17 or 18" wheels.
