Just bought race star industries 15x10 rear rims for my 03 cobra. All their advertisements say they clear big rear brakes... NO they don't! Now I was trying my hardest to not shave a few things but since I have the rims, my question is what and how much. I can see that the brake line adapter that attaches to the caliper itself is in the way and the IRS caster end link is in the way as well. It seems like I have to shave the whole bolt on the brake line down to fit the rims but then I would never get the line off the brake caliper. I have bought 1/4 in. spacers for the rims to help a bit but it still doesn't get it enough off the brake line bolt. Has anyone with a terminator done this? Any help please!! Thanks! [patriot]

Yeah I would love a SRA, its just trying to find someone to swap with you! No I haven't call them yet, just wondering if someone else has had to shave anything for 15's to fit on a 03/04 cobra
