I'm amazed you cracked 100mph with just a smaller pulley.
I know, and it consistently broke the 100mph barrier, I guess I got lucky with how well it runs!Quote:

but the car tends to vibrate a lot more than it used to at highway speed, im wondering what it could be, possibly knocked a wheel weight off? i doubt the new rotors are causing it, any ideas?
love the brake upgrade, what brand are those rotors?
Thanks man!
they are the Eline series, by R1 concepts
I was debating whether to get drilled and slotted or just regular rotors and I can't really decide, any advice Sense you just got yours done?Quote:

Do the corvette or CTS calipers fit on 12" rotors?

Going to link you there so we're not spamming Op thread..the answers are in that sticky.
Vette brakes are essentially the same as fbodies w/ minor difference so they will work with 12" rotors.
Ctsv brakes require 14" rotors
Exactly why I went with the just slotted onesQuote:

is it worth getting 13" with 18" wheels with upgraded calipers? Or would you stick with 12" or 12.5 and standard calipers?Quote:

Hmm not really right now, I'm using her as daily driver because its been reliable lately, and I have my 300zx as a fun weekend car. I'd really like to make the Gtp a bit cleaner maybe some rims or lower it someQuote:
