Hey, those aren't race brakes! There's no holes drilled in them!

j/k, they do look awesome. They could probably stop the 'bus.

Nice.

If you don't mind me asking, where did you get them from and how much? Will they fit within the stock wheels?

I got them from Phil and Jenny at DTE Powertrain. Cost was $3300 shipped to my door. They were an overstock item and honestly the cheapest I've seen them online they were over $5000 without shipping. Thanks Phil and Jenny! They won't fit under stock wheels.

I think you can run a spacer to clear them, but I'm not crazy about that idea. I had already decided to go with different wheels/tires, so it was an easy decision for me.

Yeah I know. I have to head back to the East Coast Saturday night for another week, so I won't be installing them anytime soon. I also am waiting on my spindle ducts to arrive so I do it right the first time.

Depends on the day of the week, time of day, and if the ex-wife is visiting. The can was for a size reference, of course.
