EBC yellow not sutable for track if you ride it hard at the limit. Used EBC yellow at the track last year, and I went through 2 sets of front pads in 4 lapping days. So, one set for 2 days. When I removed them from the car, the pas material just felt on the ground in pieces. They can't...

I did compressed them all the way down, and was able to feel the full 5 tuns of adjustability from lock to lock. Both set at the locking softer settings, they are day and night. I have sent a question to Koni using ther "Contact Us" on-line tool, but I have not yet heard back from them. This...

Shock #2, took 7.9secs to rebound at full soft, and over 3 minutes at full stiff. I did this more the once. Like I said, both new rear shocks are acting totally differently. Shock #1 at full stiff is softer then Shock #2 at Full Soft. I just can't get my head around why, and sureley don't...

I just bought Koni sport shocks. While adjusting the rears, I noticed that they are significantly different in stiffness. I ended up counting the time it takes form them to rebound after I fully compressed them with my arm. Shock 1: Full Soft: 2.5 seconds, Full Stiff: 3.5 seconds Shock 2: Full...

I'm also on 17s all winter, running 215/50/17 Michelin Pilot Alpin PA3 on the 2008 Mazda 3 GT wheel (snowflake).

Are you lowered or stock height? Have you rolled your fenders?

Overall wheel diameter would be 4.75% smaller then stock size. In theory, we should stay within 2% of overall wheel diameter. I thought about using 245/45/17. Not sure it would run without any rubbing issues. I found that there is a greater tire selection for an 18in wheel with 235/40/18...

And which tire size would you recommend on an 17*8 wheel with a 45mm offset?

I want to use 235/40/18 Nitto NT01 tires for the 2011 lapping season. Just wonder which rim should I pick. I want to hear from folks running this tire dimension, I would like to know which rim are you using (diam, width, offset). Also advise if your setup rubs or not. My first pick was the...

I run CP-e Xcel Intake, CP-e Turbo Inlet, and CP-e/HKS BOV kit. And it is not quiet. I can hear that turbo spooling and the HKS valve.

Oh my god, was that cut by a 2 years old using a kitchen knife?

All you need is 91. Anything above is a waste of money. Octane requirement has to do with engine compression. If manual says 91, then 91 be it. The Industry enjoy people's lack of knowledge and are making all beleive that higher Octane is better, runs cleaner, bla bla bla. That is bulls***...

I made an offer like a week ago for the intake and got a response like 3 days later saying "I will get back to you" A week later, what I find out is he drop the price without even responding to my initial request sent via PM. What a nice guy.(headshake

So I guess the answer to my offer is NO?

You will blind incoming cars with 55W HID low beams. So, think about it twice.
