guys, this front end isn't even made to make a car faster either. Its to keep the cars a bit cleaner after burnouts and allow cars to be lower without cutting fenders.
im confused as to why people think this is supposed to be a show car lol.
if you buy the right sized wheels with stock fenders, aka 5in offset for 8in wide wheels, then the slicks will fit inside the fenders as it goes down the track. AKA at speed they grow. So really at the end of the day, you end up with more frontal mass with this front end. So you decrease aerodynamics. Now this is all small in the grand scheme of things, but it allows you to have a lowered car and a cleaner car.Do they down help reduce drag?
Yea, i am stepping up to the bigger core. As you know, EKs have ALOT of room and with this new front end, it makes even MORE room. I can damn near fit a midget in the bumper area now.
I dont wanna run a bogart/weld wheel with DRs on the street for a few reasons...
~ they safe TRACK use only on them for one
~ if you hit a pothole or large bump on them on the road, they are SOOO soft that they been known to capsize and send people into the guardrails, and i dont want that. )
I am going to have bogart front/rears for the track and for the street I will have the 0-offset rim (shown above) with a .25" wheel spacer on 26" DRs for the front.
