Hasport and Jimfab mounts are ordered. Time to shake things up a bit. Hasport D and B mounts are the same so no worry if I ever want to swap (just one bracket being different, or some crap like that)
Now get a set of decent wheels and some tires, I am ready to track and enjoy the Summer of Charles.

you gonna get up on that ASR brace Nova?? I think I am... the setup makes sense.
for now I'm gonna disconnect the endlinks tho to save my subframe... too many other things I need before I can get that brace. I need Simpson harnesses asap since my stock belts have no place to clip into now...

14 inch... gross 
need 15s minimum for SiR brakes BTW... I think you did the SIR upgrade, right? Only 14" steelies will fit on those, NOT rims especially not a 3 peice design. There is a guy selling SSR Schumachers on H-T, 16 inch two peice design. I was gonna get them as a spare set of wheels, but they won't clear my brakes.

14 inch will clear SiR brakes, well depends on the spoke design. I am looking at a 14x6.5 wheel right now.
For me, I want the smallest wheel that will clear my caliper. At ET30 offset, I don't see a problem with it. It has been done. I am coming from a functional side of it, not the looks.
I doubt I will upgrade to 4 pot calipers. If anything, I will play with pad/rotor combinations.
I haven't gave up on the 15x7 wheels, it is just no one is selling them. Either that or at an acceptable price.
