Thanx....very simple setup for corvette stuff...Kore 3 makes it easy....cheap? no ......but when U don't have to "cobb up" pieces to make it work....priceless!....I still look for bargains and do alot of fab myself but when it comes to stopping.....won't chance it.....Wasn't going to use parking brake feature but had second thoughts.....Tobin made these to use lokar universal cables or U can adapt factory fit cables....shoes are inside rotor hat...They are actually a GM piece...Most everything else machined by Kore 3.......more this week.....jim

4" total---59" face to face....20 by 12's .....think 5" b.s. ...will check...going to use stock panhard....only barely touches with truck completely aired up....after discussing with Nate...think I will stay with stock....any bend in bar reduces stress load for bar in handling situations.......jim

that just gives me time to catch up.

[belowme51]

right on...im running 22x12s too and a moser rear but a 4" backspace for sure let me know what you come up with...and ill be leaving the panhard alone too, I will probabably never ride high enough for it to be an issue worse case a torch and and hammer will thin it out just enough to clear if that close or just move the trailing arms in 1/2 turn on the ends....sounds like fitment problem not an issue..thanks for your help love your truck and we are the only ones with Schotts on here I think. lots of coin but worth they are like jewlery.

schott will make it happen, they are building mine. Brake caliper clearance was a concern because im using 14" sl6r and 13" sl4r wilwoods, they will pull the specs from whatever calipers/brakes your using and machine the wheel to work with your brake set up, they are all about perfection with there wheels. they are worth all the $ spent. Alot of people dont use them because they are very expensive but once you see them in person they are like a piece of jewlery. im in the wheel/tire field and they have the BEST polish ive ever seen i mean come on the polish it front to back...not many do that. plus the cover lock is awesome.

Totally agree......most people at 5 feet can't see the "hairline" of the coverloc...I agonized over wheels....next week when it rolls out I will give my opinion if I made right choice!!....lol......jim
