Re: Lightweight wheels on daily driver waste of money?

You can get lightweight wheels used for cheap if you look around, and aren't worried about having the trendiest / most fanboi styles. I picked up a set of genuine Rays 'RB Champs' for $400, and they...

Re: Winter or all season tires

I assume you must live in a relatively cold climate, or else you wouldn't be asking the question. I live near Toronto, Canada, and I'm a firm believer in winter tires and have always used them. The...

Re: Who Makes GOOD disk brakes.

Unless you're doing some really aggressive tracking, you won't notice any performance difference going to a drilled or slotted rotor. Cheap drilled rotors have a tendency to crack, and slotted are...

Re: Rear disc brake on ek

Meoshe is correct, probably thousands of people before you have done a rear disc swap while keeping the stock prop valve. The change in braking friction between the rear drums and rear disc is...

Re: Do Volk TE37's fit on a 1994 Accord EX?

This is probably a stupid question, but this website isn't selling real Volk's are they? I mean, $600 for 4x100 15" TE37's? I couldn't sniff a set of these locally for under $1000, and that's used...

Re: Beating a Dead Horse, AKA Real vs Reps/Fake TE37 Wheels

Couldn't one also prove authenticity by weighing the rims? Tell the skeptical buyers to bring their own bathroom scale and throw the rims on, since they have no tires. No reps/fakes will be as...

Re: garcia tune te37, any wheel gurus seen these?

To each their own, but I would say the high polish is what makes these wheels unique. I'd personally refinish them that way. If they're powdercoated black then I don't really see the point in the...

Re: Help with Ideal Daily Driver (no track) Suspension Setup

Re: Anyone have issues with Russell lines?

This. Just because it's different than how the stock line was run doesn't make it any less right. If you rout it the way redlinetuning has said you shouldn't have any tight bends or kinks. It'll...

Re: Blackworks Racing (bwrusa.com)

How is that honestly any different than any other company though? If you look at the kind of parts they make, it's not exactly rocket science, and nobody is going to re-invent lug nuts or LCA's. ...

Re: "All-Weather" Tires?

LSD isn't going to help you stop any better in the snow or handle any better, only maybe gain traction when accelerating.

Re: "All-Weather" Tires?

And FWIW I ended up going with a set of Yokohama IceGuard IG51V's, I got a pretty solid deal on them ($510 after mail-in rebate for a set in 225/65R17). They've got a new tread pattern for this year...

Re: "All-Weather" Tires?

You can drive slower and give more room to try to compensate, but the fact is that stopping distances in snow/ice/sub-zero temps are MUCH better with dedicated winter tires. I believe the stopping...

That's what I'm wondering. I can see there being some advancements in technology, but there isn't going to be some magical formula that stays soft in the cold but not too soft in the heat.

Re: How do I remove a badly stripped rear lower control arm bolt?

If the shop tried to heat the bolt up with a torch and it still wouldn't come out of the welded on nut on the subframe (I'm assuming this is what you're talking about) then you may have to cut that...

Re: Sway Bar Sizing

Thanks for the input. I was mainly worried that it would make the car unbalanced. I have S2 Pro SII's that are 8k/8k, so the setup would be pretty similar.
