Default Era #708

With any luck my ERA 427 chasis # 708 is about 3 to 4 months away.

Going with 15 inch pin drive wheels (Trigos) and TKO 600.

Here are the loose ends.

1) Should I consider upgrading front brakes to 4 Piston 12 inch rotors? ($1200)

2) Should I consider optional upgraded suspension (outboard brakes)

3) Tire selection. Would you consider BFG drag radials, Rear size 325/50/15. Would drag radials be a poor choice period for someone new to a car of this magnitude? Better choice in 15 inch?

I forsee car being used predominantly on the street for some spirited back road cruises. However, can't rule out the possibility of doing some closed course stuff some day. Is up front investment worhwhile?

I often times have the tendency to overbuy.
