i tried to put my ceramics on yesterday, and it sucked, didnt have the right tool, first off (it takes a 50 torx bit) , then they were so hard i couldnt break them loose and it got dark on me so i said screw it , ill try some other nice day, (next month, sometime lol)

do the calipers swing out like a F-Body?
or do i have to take the whole caliper off?

you have to pull the whole caliper. you pull the two bolts and then you can pull the caliper. then the pad side off the other bracket that is on there. it is easier to pull that one too. i think it has two 15/16" bolts in it. cant really remember.

another question, would stock 245/60or65/17 off of a 07 NNBS work on mine if i took the caliper covers off?


EDIT~~~i just talked to mark at regency, he said the smallest tire i could put on there would be a 18X8-9 with a "minumum" of a 15 offset, they recommend a 18 offset. this is even with taking the caliper cover off

i had a good deal on brand new tires/rims off of a 07 NBS Silvy for $300, but they wont fit.

and it snowed its *** off here today and the regency does NOT get around in the snow very good LOL
