I meant AWD

For the Spyder, I wouldn't trust how Shooter did his conversions... Just my opinion though.

What's so different that you would recommend another way? I want it very strong considering the amount of torque that I could be putting thru the rear end.

I'd definitely go with the TT brakes. Going with the power your wanting you need all the brakes you can get.

i'm hoping you're simply referencing the differences between coupe & spyder. there's NOTHING wrong with how evan does his conversions. ask digimandan if you don't believe me.

i agree. that said, i think the chief difference is in repeated stops; not single emergency stops.

I'm not planning on cutting out any part of the fender wall. Nothing drastic. While I will be referencing some of the shooter method, it will not be a complete conversion like he did.

"not a complete conversion"? what do you mean? are you referring to his "factory OEM spec conversion? that was only one car, his stealth es. every other conversion he's done uses a less complex method which works great--although it does create a bit of rake to the rear suspension.

My NA brakes did pretty damn good when healthy (new fluids, upgraded pads rotors, properly lubed) but the TT does stop a good bit better. I agree though it really shows up with repetitive braking.

Yup, referencing the factory spec he did. I didn't know he did more.

Does anybody have any pics of the spyder underneath? I'd like to see the stuff that's in the way.
