I have a set of 15x4" Weld Draglite XP's, now we all know that the XP's are designed in a way that they do not require the caliper to me ground down to clear the stock lt1 front brake setup as opposed to the original draglite's that required some minior grinding of the caliper to prevent rubbing.

I am doing a FULL Spohn suspension setup up front and am going to be building it as a direct swap from my stock setup meaning I want ALL new knuckles, hubs, etc, etc.. etc... My question is this, if I want to do the LS1 front brake conversion up front will they clear my 15x4" Weld Draglite XP's? Does anyone have any experience with this setup?

Injuneer i know you run Weld rims, i think prostars, can you shed some light on this? Or anyone for that matter, post away, and thanks in advance

 

The original Draglites/Pro-Stars don't hit the brake caliper in the front. They hit the springs on the brake pads, and the big horizontal bar on the LT1 steering knuckle that the caliper rests on. I've never seen an XP wheel.

 

hmmm thanks Injuneer, anyone try the Weld Draglite XP 15x4" with the ls1 brake setup up front?

 

anyone? TTT

 

ttt, please :-)
