    Motivation issues for a week or so? I haven't touched my truck in like 2 months now lol I'm still contemplating hacking the frame up to start my irs and coilovers. Truck is looking beautiful as usual though bern. I can't wait to hear that motor run and see some color on that frame.

    they're hard to measure on the truck but autozone lists the size of the stock replacement as 291.1mm which is 11.460629921272222"

    i agree about keeping it yota, especially since i'm using supra spindles and front brakes. i was gunna do the mustang rotor/gm caliper but i want to get all drilled/slotted rotors and i can buy a full kit for supra for less then buying supra front/ mustang rears separate.
