Front Reilly Motorsports suspension is in, looks pretty good, now for the rear and to find some wheels to fit the 12.19 inch brakes. :scratchchin:

Just had their 6 piston 12.9s installed.  They went in easy on the RMS suspension and somehow my old 15 inch wheels cleared the brakes...barely!

Looks great! May I ask where you got it from and around how much the whole setup was? We are redoing our suspension and with everything we are replacing and the parts we are using we are pretty close to 3,000 including all the steering components. It might be worth it to us to just throw in the bit extra and get a whole new front end.

It does look nice. Let us know how well it works out for you.

nice to know your 15 inch wheels still fit.
I have been debating about whether i should get that brake setup as well.
Thanks for sharing!
Do post more my friend.

Did you get the whole set from RMS?

I ended up going with the whole setup on RMS after reading about some of the other setups on this forum and am glad I went this route.  The lynx rear setup is next along with the Strange Dana 60 that I ordered from Central parts racing.  I will end up running an 18 inch wheel once I can find a style that I like enough to pay the money for.

The Nascar boys use 12.19x1.25 rotors in the cup races with their 15" wheels. That's 'bout as big as you can get in a 15" wheel.

TKO 600 installed after some tunnel fabrication.  Strange Dana 60 4 link tabs installed and painted ready for install.

I had to go to a 17" wheel with my RMS kit. 15" touched the tie rod end unless I put a 1" wheel spacer in. What BS is your rim and what are you running? I was trying to fit a 15x7" rally wheel and it was a no go.

Here is a shot with the 1" spacer. Without it would have hit.

It is really close to the wheel weights and I will be moving up to 17 or 18 inch wheels anyway.  I have 3.75 in from the lug mounting surface to the edge of the wheel.

Glad to hear it; I wouldn't see the point of setting up a trick suspension and then sticking with smaller rims...
