What have you done to your P5 today?

[Sliver5]

That's sweet, thanks. So not all coil over setups have this type of damper? Is this the moral of the story?

correct. Inverted equals the shizznit

 

[Salmon_Rob]

inverted ftmfw

(rlaugh) whatever you say.

Pretty much the main advantage to inverted struts is a reduction in un-sprung weight. And pretty much the only person who'd even notice a difference between standard vs inverted is.... Michael Schumacher (ok not really... just saying they're totally un-necessary in a street car). That being said, iirc rob got a deal on these, so I can't hate too much.

He always forgets. That blue color tends to do that to people.

 

[DeadGeneration]

Yes you can oversize, I forget the exact limits but with the proper installer the oversize is actually a pretty decent amount.

I run 205/45/16 on my P5.

 

[justanothermp5]

yea u can go with 205 50, u can go with 215/50 probably, im not sure on the limits either...

I run 205/45/16 on my stock wheels as well. Same tires on both sets of rims.

Its just that my black wheels are 8 pound track wheels from Japan (according to 5-Zigen)

 

[justanothermp5]

oh ok, i have 5zigens too, the GN+ ProRacers or w/e
they were pretty expensive but i like them, and im prob the only one on here with them in bronze

i cant remember what i ran on my stockers but my 17's with 205/40's are the same exact height as my stockers were

 

[BinoMP5]

thinking of going with kumho ECSTA AST... im kinda on a budget... i can get all 4 for like $200 shipped new... are there better tires for that budget? and i autox occasionally

 

[TWISFM]

^^^^ where are you getting these tires for $200 new sounds good for all four

 

[fishdonotbounce]

yea that sounds like a kick ass price. Hook me up with some snow tires for my 14" steelies lol

 

[InFlames]

I'm rolling on ASTs, they're ok for the price. I just wish I would have spent more for a better performance tire.

Quick serious question for everyone. Does anyone know where I can find some WHITE lugs? I've searched and searched and even come up with lug nut sleeves (eek2) but no white lug nuts. If I got a set powdercoated, would it just get messed up as soon as I took them off?

That's alot of coin for some p5 wheels

just paint them and don't bang them around and they should last
