heres my rear strut brace...makes the car more stable and faster at corners with less body roll...and yes it is noticeable

[dmx]

forgot the Project Mu.. xD

anyway.. nice brake u have there.. =)

thx. project U seems ok since we use for street only. unless u go tracking.

is it heavy that big rotor ? Nice!
How much for V-kool ?

weight ? total = lighter than stock..lol
330 rotor, 8.1 kg + 4 pot caliper, 3.8 kg = 11.9kg each side.
stock rotor, 6.3 kg + stock 2 pot caliper, 5.9 kg = 12.2 kg
LOL.. will give the pic later, don't remember saved in which HDD folder..
only ssbh heavier a few grams, but new rear brake line bracket lighter a few grams, so even!

still waiting the rear rotor arrive to reach brake balance.

215 is for 7-7.5jj.. 225 is for 7.5-8jj.. 235 is for 8-8.5jj.. so depends on ur wheels..

if ur wheels is 18x8.5.. impossible u can use 215.. =)

bumpy or comfort ride is depends on the thickness of the tyre.. 35? 40? 45? 50?

as well as ur suspension setup as well.. BMW with 35 series VS normal hyundai on 40.. still BMW have more comfort.. =)

Sorry to quote from so long ago but I had a quick Q.

I'm looking at getting some tyres for my 18" 7.5jj rims. Now the trick is I'm running +35 offset (unsure if its definitely guard rolling territory). The trial fit without tyres looks good tho.

So to keep the overall diameter I'm looking at either 215x40x18 or 225x40x18. What would be the noticeable difference? If I wanted to drop a couple of inches (keeping in mind the offset) is it "safer" to go with the 215s? I'm guessing 215 would need to be "stretched" a little more than 225s right and hence would be less likely to scrub? So whats the actual noticeable differences?

if u want the safest choice.. Toyo Proxes T1-R in 205/35/R18.. this is the super rare model available in the market.. not sure can u get in australia or nop.. hehe.. im using this tyre in my home country car.. look sexy and roxx.. =)

but since u afraid the scrubbing.. get 215 instead of 225.. for ur own good.. =)

or perhaps Toyo Proxes 4 in 205/40/R18.. but 35 will look lower abit.. hehe.. =)

from the pics.. it shows that doesnt mean 225 is wider than 215 than the price will be higher.. the narrower.. the more expensive.. compare 205 with 225.. hehe.. =)

Kup, Mine is Mugen RR replica, there's aircoop on the bonnet, you wont be able to see it on the picture (similar to the picture above) but I am coming over this saturday to say hello to you guys! you are most welcome to have a look..One thing that I am not too keen about the cf bonnet it self is the texture, its not as good as J's Racing but hey i like the model alot.
