these are nice but not cheap

But is that a 2021? I have some S70,s in 18x5 with a 2.1 bs, but am hearing they won’t fit on the 2021 because of a larger rotor.

 

[alettoco]

this is 2019 redeye but i also have 2021 redeye they are the same. this is my wife car. 2.1 think you need a spacer with that. the set i have from HHP is 2.7 and i dont use a spacer.

AlumaStars are for track use only. If you want something you can drive on the street, they aren't the right choice.

MY '21 REWB had larger rotors. No 18" skinny would fit.

I have Forgestar D5 18X5 front skinnies for my '19 Redeye WB and I didn't need a spacer, but I don't know if they will fit a '21. They are the sister company to Welds and they are half the price. I got the skinnies and rear beadlocks ceramic coated and delivered for around $1600.

Damn....I thought I saw a pic of yours with skinnies. They won't fir even with a spacer?

You did see mine with skinnies but that was after removing the - new for '21 - gigantic front brakes.
Fwiw - I own 3 sets of skinnies; Weld S70's, Forgestar D5's and Billet Specialties. All are 18". None of them would fit the '21 with the stock brakes. The FS and the BS would both fit the '19 though.

 

[Steiny]

Yeah..... I saw that on some of you're other threads, What a pain in the ass. Before I ordered mine I was drooling over the pics of yours, never thinking for a minute that they had changed the brakes.
I had a quick look at knckles and rotors this morning. Looks like about $2k to swap over..... Which is quite a lot. Is that what you had to do? I have a new set of 17x1's and 18 x 5's S70 welds that I ordered before the car arrived.....

 

[TNRedeye]

I got rid of that car. I now have a '21 SS. Yes I had to replace knuckles, rotors, calipers, pads, etc. I took that stuff off before selling the RE. I'd sell the stuff if you're interested. Also, it's less trouble to replace than I expected it to be.

 

[Steiny]

Calipers too?… I thought is was just knuckle and rotor?

 

[Chancey]

Calipers and rotors are to big to go with 18” fronts/skinnies on the redeye. The rear will already fit an 18”One of the reasons (among several others) that I swapped my redeye for the Super Stock.

 

[TNRedeye]

I wasn't clear. I swapped to the 4 piston SS brakes. But to answer your question, it is my understanding that knuckles and rotors are all that is needed to go back to the '19 style smaller big brakes. If you choose to go that way you might look into the Powerstop rotors. They are a lot less expensive than factory.

 

[Steiny]

Wow....yes they are. Thanks

I'm going to PM you later about your switch from a Redeye to a SS before I go too much further.

I’m interested in buying if you still have it.
