So, this is the fight... all this stuff, trying to live in the same place, without damage. I think we nailed it. The IRS went in for it's final fitting.

So, this happened today:

As they were installed, the rims hit the coil overs. No rim I had or bought at specification would fit. So, in the hot rodding fashion, we broke out the plasma cutter and welder and made them fit.

Cut off the mounts for the upper rear coil overs and cut part of the "frame rail". Mounted the coil over under the frame rail, but with the mount cut into it. Flipped the shocks 180 degrees so the hardware's inside and easier to route into the trunk.

That all allowed this the "steam roller" affect. I mean, if I have to re-engineer, might as well go big as we rebuild.

I am also pleased as punch with the Bear calipers on Kore3 abutments over Camaro 14.4" rotors, Camaro hubs with parking brake... seems we need to shim just a little bit, but the front calipers match the back now.

Yes, the remote resevoirs will go into the trunk.
