      Was about to buy a 4 piston Wilwood Forged Dynalite Pro Series front kit at a nice price but just read this thread : https://www.pro-touring.com/threads/...Tobin-of-KORE3
      So I prefer to go now with my first thought, D52 calipers.

      Floating calipers are best for c-clip style rear axles.

      Diference compared to fixed calipers is the caliper sliding & squeeze the rotor, right ?
      D52 front & D154 rear should be a nice "mild" setup

      Looked a lot for a nice set of wheels for my Birthday coming soon.
      Wanted an old-school look in 17" & went with Billet Specialties Rival-G.
      Still need to mesure everything but here what Rival-G's are.

      Had to put a nut inside the frame to get one of the front sway bar bushing straps bolts tight. Threads in the frame are really weak.

      Measured the wheels I have on the car, seems 15x7 BS 3.75...
      mostly sure I can go 17x8 BS 4.5 four corners as I prefer same size wheels/tires front & rear.
      Rear won't be a problem, I will see front @ full lock tomorrow if I can add the 0.75 BS.

      Froggy 69Bird PT wannabe - "poor dady" VERY SLOW build.

      The frame threads do suck. I have a nut on one side too, very common.

      Hi Armourmark,
      Checked my 3 others & seems to be tight enough, good thing as it's not easy to acess.

      Received Water neck gasket & Universal joints...
      Work should be done in the next weeks.
      I think U-Joints replacement will be fun as my drive shaft is stock & U-joints still drowned in plastic. I think the use of an hydraulic press is in my near future...

      Thanks Justin,
      I hope so too... Should be nice.

      Ended up to go with 17x8 BS 4.5 four corners, with 235/45R17 Yoko's ADVAN SPORT V105S.

      I know I have a little rub in the rear but nothing too difficult to solve.
      For the front, I have rased a little with the new springs & button heads inner fender screws should solve the rub too.

      So, in the next days I'll have to open the wallet...

      Where did you get the button heads?

      I have looked at Lowes, and another Hardware store. I still need to try Home Depot. I can find the button heads but not in the correct size.

      Thanks,

      Firebeater.

      Like counter-sunk allen bolts and fender washers? or just button-head sheetmetal screws

      Thanks Justin,
      I now see what you are talking about, should be way nicer than just button-head screws.
