    how are the skinnys around town? My thought was to do a full time drag setup, but when traveling more than 30 min I would just put my stock setup back on.

    cool , kinda figured since the 6 piston use the 14.6 rotor

    what size tire are you using in the rear ?

    They are fine for "normal" slow driving that 9/10ths of the public does. I like to have fun on the curves too when the opportunity is there. No way I would want to do that.

    My spare tire well has a meth pump and tank in it so one wheel has to go in the back seat.
