Default 17's CCW drag set up.

Size:  297.0 KB . We love how this set up turned out. 17-4 front 17-11 rear. Front tires are 26-4-17 rear 275-40-17 MT radial. To fit rear wheels we use a set of lgmotorsports new c7 drag spinels and c5 rear brake calipers and c5 brake caliper brackets. We did have to machine down the stock c7 brake rotor. Must I said I can't tell the different under hard braking. We also test fitted the car with 16s" and it cleared all the rear components.

Wouldn't it be more feasible to just use c5 rotors? Assuming they would work obviously, but if so I'm sure they could be had for cheap, right?

The c5 rotor can't be use because the ebrake on the c7 has a much larger diameter and it doesn't fit in the rotor basket.

If I use c6 calipers would I still have to machine the rotors? I'm going 18" setup in the classic but ccw said I would need to swap to c6 calipers in the rear. Just seeing if there's a difference from the c5 to c6 caliper
