What a difference. With the steel braided lines and everything, a lot more pedal feel. Can't wait until I break them in to really push them.

 

Looks great! You've got the STOP! now, time to get a little more GO! (ala SC)

 

Wow, looks great man!!

 

very nice.


do they fit w/o spacers?

 

nice

 

They tell me shipping this week. I may see it by the tail end of next week. I still won't be able to keep up with you unless I go HBP though. Not sure on that yet.

 

Thanks Matt. I had to go 5mm spacers with the 03 CL-S wheels and I'm getting a little over 6 turns on the lugs. Even at that, it's real close.

 

Congrats, Boost next !!

 

 

how much did all that run you?

 

Call CompTech and order some longer and stronger studs. I went with a front set of 12mm x 1.5, 59mm long studs out of an NSX 12.4" BBK. They fit perfectly with my wheel lugs/wheel locks. If you think these studs will be too long for your current wheel lugs/wheel locks, I've got a brand new set of Gorilla wheel lugs/wheel locks for all four wheel with an open face that I don't need. PM me if you're interested.

NOTE: The front OEM studs are 44mm long.

 

I came across some lug nuts that extend through the rim to grab more thread as compared to the standard acorn nuts that just sit on top of the rim. I'll probably pick up one and see if it works. Bring the Gorilla's to the next meet and maybe I'll take them off of your hands.

 

For piece of mind, I recommend longer studs. Before I installed them, I had only 6 1/2 turns on the lug nuts with 5mm spacers. But stock is normally ~15 turns. So 6 1/2 turns is only about 40% of the original number of turns.

I'll definitely bring the Gorilla's to the next meet.

 

Looks hot man.

Any pics with the wheels on?

I'm waiting for Rotora to get more of the red caliper kits in stock. Not a fan of the blue ones.

 

So how about some pics with the rims on!!!!!
Did you need spacers with the stock 03 rims???

LOOKS SWEEEEEEEET!!!

 

more pics with wheels on pls

 

Sweetness.

 

get the blue ones and have Smitty powdercoat them black

 

^ Yeah you mentioned that earlier and its a good idea, but i prefer the red look.

 

Thanks Rollie. 5mm is the minimum spacer that will work with the 03 CL-S wheels. Even at that, it's awfully close.

I'll get some pics w/ the wheels and post.

 

Very nice!

Now you'll have less chance of glazing your pads when you do the twisties with Red and Hammer.

 

Chasing Red and Hammer, I probably still will. Those guys can drive.

 

Looks great. That sure is a lot of stopping power for not having headers. j/k

 

Check SIG. he's got CT headers... But in a little while, he'll definitely need that extra braking power when he gets the S/C.

 

ah crap...sorry...I was looking under the TL-P.

 

looks wikid man! can't wait to see em in a few weeks.

 

Still waiting!!!!

 

Come to the next meet and see it in person. But please, leave the grass skirt and coconuts at home.

 

Well, for sure on the coconuts

 

Looks great. Post some pics with the wheels on

 

Sorry for taking so long to post pics with the wheels but here they are.

 

can't wait to see em on saturday! lookin good

 

WOW jeff i cant wait to see them either

thats way cool, did you get the SC installed too?

i cant wait to see all the mods people have done to their cars in the central valley area

 

Thanks Guys.

I'm hoping the SC will arrive by the end of this week. I won't be able to have it on by this meet though.

 

Nice pics on the brakes with the wheels on. I bet you're enjoying the extra braking power.

 

There's always the next meet after next. But it must be killing you to have to wait a little longer.

 

Loving the braking and pedal feel. Even with the SC, I'll still have a hard time keeping up with you though

 

Very Nice !

 

Damn that looks hot.

Glad i waited for the red set.

 

Nah... when you get the S/C and some stickier tires, you'll be able to keep up.
