Anyone interested in a 1LE substitue? (KORE3)

1LE parts are hard to get and expensive and not many are too keen on 12.8" rotors with a 16" wheel.

I was talking to KORE3 and they dont offer a 11.9" front brake upgrade for a third gen unless you out 50% down on a custom brake kit with a C6 caliper and 11.9" rotor.

I currently run a 11.9" rotor with C5 caliper (similar but weaker than a C6) on 99 Pontiac Grand Prix with stock 16" torque star wheel (not crosslace wheel).

So, i ask who is interested in this 11.9" setup to fit a stock wheel, essentially a 1LE substitute?

Immediately after i ask i wonder if the stock wheel will clear the setup...

Anyone interested?

Please reply

Probably not. You would need a 16x8 iroc wheel or 16x8 formula wheel for those to clear.
