Default Re: Meet Bluey! 1994 #353

The Brembo saga is almost complete.

The quick-short of it is that I cannot use the Callaway-Brembo setup with the Shelby Series 1 wheels.

The hats for the rotors are too thick and push the wheels too far outward. Im not willing to modify the wheels as I feel it takes away from their aesthetic appeal so Im sticking with the C5 front brakes for now.

I found some 3mm spacers that "worked" but they were made of this flimsy aluminum that I didnt want to be stuck with. I ordered some DRM 1/4 inch spacers that arrived yesterday.

Turns out I needed the longer studs that I ordered to run with the Brembos as the factory studs were too short to run with the 1/4inch spacer.

Also, turns out that the McGard lug nuts that I bought that looked really slick, were too shallow to use with the longer studs LOL

Long story short:

C5 Brakes
1/4inch DRM Spacers
Moser 8255 Studs (2.5")
Factory Lug Nuts
Shelby Series 1 Wheels

While I was at it, I replaced the rear exhaust hanger isolators with fresh rubber. Eveyrthing sits nice now.

Should have it on the ground tomorrow...
