Once I had the front end mostly completed it was time to move onto the rear. I decided to keep the leaf spring setup (for now) to see how it would react with all the new front components I've added. At some point I could see adding some sort of 3- or 4-link setup.
The stock 275/15s were a very tight fit.......it took a ton of effort to get the passenger side out.
Lots of clearance huh?
A picture of the stock setup with the drums already removed.
So that's where I'm currently sitting as of this afternoon. I'm waiting on new bearings & Wilwood backing plates to be pressed onto my rear axle shafts so that I can reinstall them this evening and finish mounting the 4-piston rear Wilwoods.
I need to finish fabricating new ss brake lines to the rear calipers and also the new parking brake cables.
I've also added a 3/4" Addco rear sway bar which I'll get pictures of later.
Once all that's completed (hopefully by tomorrow), I'll install my new Wilwood aluminum M/C and get everything plumbed and bled out.
Before I go I want to say that I think you guys are really going to dig what I'm doing in terms of wheels & tires for the car. I spent a TON of time on the phone with Jason at Driver's Inc and we've come up with something that I don't think I've seen before. Hopefully I'll have some completed pictures to show off before the week is up!
