Interesting... I only show ~3.2hz in the front... Unless this is a joke. Maybe you are talking about your escort

daniel, ive also used 2.5" springs on my 2.25" springs, they will not rattle, just have to make sure they sit on the upper spring perch properly when you let it down. The clearance isnt as great from 60mm -> 2.5" anyways.

but hearing your gas-motor'd truck working hard at high revs up big long hills, tends to wear on the driver, as do white-knuckle stints through heavy crosswinds. The danger ranger wore me down fast! Heavy crosswinds were always hair ball, especially Fontana winds with the Protege. Then again, the d...

Hey Sebastian, You don't have any issues with burning off the mold release compound? When I first got the Direzzas, I drove them around on the street for a while, but they still felt a little greasy for the first couple of runs. Maybe with newly formulated MRCs, this is less of a problem. --Doug Do...

My RS3s just showed up from Tire Rack...only $50 shipping from the Nevada warehouse. A very square-shouldered tire...I'm guessing they might like a little more neg. camber than the Direzzas. Gotta love that new tire smell wafting through the office, and the little flames etched in the tread blocks!...

The Miata is making a slight uneven rotational rubbing sound ... noticeable during rolling out. Could this be a warped rotor? How does one know one has a warped rotor? Want to make sure the Miata is OK for Karen for next weekend's Solo Time Trails at CA Speedway. http://www.propartsusa.com/brake-pa...

I've never had my car setup that way but it sounds like tapping the brakes is a bandaid? I'm just trying to understand.

I thought all left foot brakers were superior ... until you find out Gary T is a Rightie The real truth is, Gary T would be faster if he left foot brake. You guys that keep using Gary T as your argument against left foot braking is getting old. Steve A. What would be the lemming thing to do? Left F...

I can't seem to find any locally but a few weeks ago I was shopping for something else and noticed it on a shelf and figured I'd come back later and pick some up to do a brake flush on the truck. Now I can't remember where I saw it.... Target? Walmart? Sears? We do carry ATE Super Blue or ATE Typ 2...

Are you sure you are not talking about Mihai

Craig, I'm sorry, you are right, when it comes down to it, the 195/50/15 Toyo R1R will only work on a FWD 1989-1991 Honda Civic Si built to Spec ST Civic. Who cares about optimal air pressures, wheel width, side wall stiffness and tire width. Dude you ripped me apart, questioned everything I stated...

Steve Ekstrand wrote:Strange observation on the ST Civic....

My 195 toyo's seem to last longer than the 225's. I can't explain that one.

You should really test your 225's and 195's back to back, then you will understand what is going on between the two.

oh and i forgot, it absolutely has to have the build date 3407 or 3507 stamping. All other tires will be slower.
