that should be one FINE ride...prob. give the BRE a run for its money...any more thoughts on wheels?

i'm considering the 18" snowflakes again. found out who makes them, and also found another vendor who sells them besides YO. he restores T/A's and uses them all the time. he was very nice to talk to and was more than willing to help me out with size and backspacing.

I've been to their website a bunch of times. That's good

  yea that guy i talked too was way cool! he answered ALL my questions and had some really nice suggestions. he was very knowledgable about our cars, unlike the guys at YO, who just get the parts info out of a catalog

i am having a little issue with the master cylinder - Baer sent me a new one but it was differant. the flange is too big, and the reseviors are swapped. they want me to grind down the flange so it fits on my booster, and swap the brake lines coming off the proportioning valve front to rear.
i told them i really don't wanna grind a new unit, and the lines coming off the prop vale are very short and can't really be swapped. so we are trying to find a solution, and also looking into just using the factory master and just rebuilding it. i didn't know if any of you guys have upgraded brakes...
