Mine have held up very well to thousands of miles of driving between Raleigh, NC and many out-of-state Pro Solos and major autocrosses in the Midwest. I don't know whether the Rivals do any better, especially since my understanding from very credible sources is that Rivals need significantly more tread depth to resist hydroplaning at highway speed.
bah, just blast it all the way to 8250. what could possibly go wrong??? :headbonk:
The throttle body can't be changed in ST* but the tune and CAI is probably fine.
That's the question none of the vendors are willing to tell anyone it seems. I've never encountered this problem with any other vehicle platform. I won't buy wheels without someone disclosing the offset before purchase. I was looking at 11 in squared before I picked up my apex wheels, but no one wanted to tell me the offset, so I bought from Apex instead. It's not like I can't measure myself once they arrive anyways. [MENTION=7150]boardkat[/MENTION] I believe knows the answer though and may be willing to share as he just picked up one of the wheel offset tools that lets you figure out what size offset you need plus this was what he ran for a while last year before moving to 18x12... and now 18x13(at least in the rear, not sure on the front). Let me know when you order your 19x11's. I may buy a set too and maybe we can save a little on shipping possibly. I know W. Agnor is looking to pick up a set as well. I forget what his SN is on here.
i was using the 18x11/315 setup as a baseline (and it was CLOSE to the underside of the perches on my non-offset MCS struts with 6" springs with the ride height i was running). haven't even really thought on how to make a 19x11/305 fit under OEM struts/springs because if you're making the effort to go that wide, then you may as well run the appropriate setup - i.e., 2.25/60mm/2.5ID springs are a heckuva lot cheaper (and more available in the "right" rates) than OEM-sized springs. like i said, if others want to trailblaze a path fitting OEM-sized springs on a wide wheel/tire up front, all the power to them, but it definitely doesn't qualify as the straightforward way i was describing in my initial reply
Ahh, the question came up about OEM perches with the 11" wheels so what the heck, it is curious if that kind of setup would fit or not. I penciled out some figures this evening while I was killing time:i was using the 18x11/315 setup as a baseline (and it was CLOSE to the underside of the perches on my non-offset MCS struts with 6" springs with the ride height i was running). haven't even really thought on how to make a 19x11/305 fit under OEM struts/springs because if you're making the effort to go that wide, then you may as well run the appropriate setup - i.e., 2.25/60mm/2.5ID springs are a heckuva lot cheaper (and more available in the "right" rates) than OEM-sized springs. like i said, if others want to trailblaze a path fitting OEM-sized springs on a wide wheel/tire up front, all the power to them, but it definitely doesn't qualify as the straightforward way i was describing in my initial reply
join us late spring @ dallesport - a small group of us are renting the airport for a day and running until we've logged enough data on the skidpad/slalom/offset courses and/or our tires are corded
I would love to be there. PM me with the details, please.join us late spring @ dallesport - a small group of us are renting the airport for a day and running until we've logged enough data on the skidpad/slalom/offset courses and/or our tires are corded
to prep, i suggest all rates in 50lbs increments from 550-800 for the front and 200lbs increments from 1200-2000 in the rear (non-coilover, obviously) - and the 'vert/PP/stano/eibach-bmr front and rear bars. add 150 in the front and 250 in the rear as your starting points if you're joining me on 335 A7s in ESP ;)
