My car used to have the Torq Thrust D"s on it but I don't have any pic's. I like the look BUT something was just a miss about it. I believe the original cars still used pin drive TTD's with the single knock off. For a Cobra, IMO they need the knock offs to really look right. I have a set of Trigo FIA wheels now and they are the right style, offset and "look" of the car. I do believe unless you get the two piece TTD's you might have an offset problem. You are kinda limited with the cast wheels. As for the brakes, I'm putting my front end together as we speak and I can't see how the Camaro brakes can't be enough! I know the wilwoods are nice BUT really how much brake can you use once it slides the car? These brakes are large, the disc's are huge, AND rebuilt ones at the local parts are $14.95 to replace!! Can't buy wilwood brake fluid for that price! We use to race an IMSA Camaro with the same brakes and it was more than enough. Besides what do you need all those brakes for, all they do is slow you down! I would stick to what Bob and Uncle Peter say, keep it simple! Good luck, Matt.
