Anybody running 17" Cobra Bullit rims on a Duster
i just picked up a set of 11 3/4" rotors, they were hard to find around here. best i could do was order them from advanced auto. rock auto has them but i wanted them this week. 5 places told me they couldnt even get them. i started to think i was making a bonehead move wanting to run those. anyway, i just picked them up and i opened the box in the store to take some measurements to be sure i got what i wanted, i thought as soon as i opend the box, the rotor hat looks much taller on these, wtf? hmmm i wondered if it would help. so does that make the track width wider? im going outside as soon as i get off the computer to see how they fit my 8" bullits. we used no spacer on the 10 3/4 but turned down the end of the rotor to clear the rim. i went with 245s all around, i didnt want to get into cutting the front fenders and i wanted all 4 tires the same size. oh as for the poly strut rod bushing for an upgrade, i have to argue that one. i think it is a funky produst. it really binds the suspension movement. i have them on my 69, i used to have slant bars for transfer in it as it was a street strip big block car i could not even bounce the front end. now on the 67 i was working on, i had rubebr strut rods, the car was all mocked up with a big block, i could bounce that car like you would expect. it was working th eway i wanted for the strip. i guess it could help stiffen things up if you are running lighter t bars, but i really feel they bind the front end.
