wow, awesome build. Did I hear that correctly that you are trying to fit 355's in the back? I think Pirelli makes a set.

I'm currently running the 335's and I have a small amount of fender lip interference with the car lowered. I am running the qa1 coil overs in the back and there's no room to move the tire in at all. I think I'm pretty maxed out. I can't wait to see this. Awesome build.

355's will fit perfect. I will be on coilovers along with several other mods to make them fit. No one wants to see this more than I do. The rotor was the last part I needed. All I need now is the time to do it...the hardest part!!!

Difference in rotors

Did you make that rear, or was it some aftermarket piece? It looks similar to the Dana 44's that come on Vipers.

C4, Dart 406 sbc, 88mm turbo, CSU blowthru carb, e85. Building it to kick *** and take names.

Its from a vette. I cut the ears off and made the outer. Vipers have a different bolt pattern. Pinion mount is on the left and have no provisions for toe bars. All the internals are the same between the rears but the viper rear is a sand casting with more support in the pinion area. It can be installed in a vette but would be costly.
