How will i lose 40-80 rwhp? and it's not 100 lbs heavier. I have a freind with the same rear and it's around 52 lbs heavier. I have two options. changed diffs every two weeks or get a ford 8.8. the stock rear will not hold 450 rwhp and greater

I run 15x7's +7 with no flares, but it does rub unless rolled. We both run 225/50-15's Where on earth are there tire wider than 225 in 15"? I have yet to find any.

I've got the N3000's in 225/45R16 and I've been very impressed so far. Excellent grip for the price.

It grips well but I havent tried it on wet surface. It is still sunny in Sunny Southern Smogfornia.

. Its funny I rarely look at these treads anymore. I still have a few sets of eps in storage, but for now ive moved on to 18x9.5s on my FD
Wish I could make it out to SS9 this year, I have a race this weekend so Im preparing for that. Give d0 pluck a hard time for me.
