Guys,

Thanks for the info and links! Still don't see many photos of the Torque Thrust D (TTD) wheels. Looks like folks either order the pin drive wheels up front, or change over later for the upgrade.



Rickd ...

From the ERA site, I see that the optional large Wilwood 'racing' brakes are not compatible with the 15 inch bolt on Torque Thrust D (TTD) wheels. Only the 'street' GM Camero / Corvette brakes will work with the 15 inch TTD wheels.

What I am considering are the 15 inch TTD wheels with street brakes all around, and the optional rear end that has the outboard bakes.

From my interpretation of the info on the ERA site, the optional rear suspension comes with GM outboard brakes, or it can be upgraded to the Wilwood brakes. So it looks to me that the TTD 15 inch wheels will work with the optional rear suspension provided it's with the GM brakes. Is that correct or am I missing something here?

The ultimate answer of course is to check directly with ERA ... just wondering if you or anyone has any comments.


Also ... does anyone have any experience or strong feelings about ERA standard brakes vs. the optional Wilwood brakes for street use?


Thanks!
