Default 15' Conversion
Its been some time now, has the prices started to go down on the 15' kits yet ? $5000 for some shitty brakes/rotors and a few pieces of metal is absolutely CRAZY !!!! Come'on man, look out for the Po man, we got to buy tires and wheels too ! LG smh, that's crazy Hoss ! Over $10,000 for some the Conversion/Wheels/Tires and to get it all put on is Utterly, Blitheringly, Asinie, Asa-10, As-11,As-12 !!!!!

Lol, ok A 15 inch Drag pack conversion that allows 15 inch rear tires. ' = inch .... " = foot ... maybe I'm wrong.

The profit margins on those kits have to be great. I was surprised to see them using what looks to be 4th gen F-body brakes on such an expensive kit.

Yeah, it wasn't worth correcting again, I figured people could guess from context, but:

" = inches
' = feet
° = degrees
