Hahahaha Javy. If I went more aggresive in the front, I'd have to STRETCH and roll, which are 2 things I want to avoid. I like the really staggered look anyways.

The rears are cut/shaved very tight so I have no issues there. The fronts rub on the liner like no ones business, but that's no biggie.

And yes, I took T-Rex06's brakes.
