PUNKYOU007 Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 one thing you have to account for is once you put a rim that large on your vehilce you really need to upgrade those brakes. steve didnt always have them big ass pads so im sure he could tell you the difference that it made. around here with all the young boys and the brothers sticking 4's and 6's under a $1000 crown vic, i havent seen a brake upgrade yet. pay now or pay later. basically what im getting at is if your gonna price them rims you might as well price out some bigger or better brakes.

So unless yall wanna fight and then have some great make up sex i will leave it home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didnt know HOW BAD it was till i got the new ones. I was a rolling death machine and i didnt even know it. Now i drive with TOO much confindence if there is a such a thing.

LoudBlazer Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 I think you can upgrade to a 1" larger slotted rotor for not much more. They also look pretty good with a 4 piston caliper.

LoudBlazer Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 I found them out of my Jegs high performance magazine. Im sure its on their site. They have alot of kits to choose from. Would look good tucked behind a pair of 22" U2 55 Quote 1997 2 Door Blazer Bagged & Body Dropped SBC/TH350 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love 'em to death!! i drove an old 60's Pontiac once that i put a stereo in, he had 4's on it, HOLY CRAP i thought i was gonna wreck so many times. by the time i got the car home i was driving as slow as possible, i dont know how that guy drove that car. it had tiny stock drum brakes on it...thats when i realized how important brakes were with largers rims. i think the drums were smaller than the center of the rim, lol Quote Doethepaperboy "Bars of Pain" Doethepaperboy "Hero Remix" C.
