Nice Tom. Do you have an upgrade kit for 18" front and 19" rear. I going back to the oem size for better turning radius and to eliminate rubbing. LMK, thanks Chas

By the way, according your crossfire's modifications, we think you're interested in better brakes, right?

And yes, if you only want some coca cola light we can send you some....

They look great, but I do not think I could make them fit on my rear wheels. My rims barely clear the stock ones in the rear due to the offset/lip of my rims.

NICE JOB! You'll need a 5 point harness to keep you in your seat now.

Re: Biggest brake upgrade kit finished!!!

Those brakes look huge and beautiful. And love those spanish jack stands! I track my car but not with 19's or 20's so I can't use them. However I'm happy to see them offered to Crossfire owners. Good luck with the venture.

Re: Biggest brake upgrade kit finished!!!

Given that the rear brakes take on about 25% of the braking force on this car due to weight transfer, I'd venture to say that the rears could be made to fit in 16" wheels - which means Drag Radials on 16" wheels could be used without having an effect on braking.

The fronts are drop-dead sexy though
