Als info please
 
Im rebuilding my engine soon. I found a two year old thread that people said some pretty good things about this apex seal. are they still as good as they said they were back then? They seemed to be be unbreakable and they dont eat the rotor housings with chatter marks like other apex seals can. How about the side seals? Are they good too?

I dont want to go with 3mm seals either. Ive heard bad things.

3mm is just unnecessary expense. idk about your other questions though.

3mm will add more wear but if you premix they really won't wear any faster than your stock 2mm seals will with the oil metering system in place. but i will say that 3mm is unecessary as said unless you plan on going 350-400+RWHP

ALS seem to have a good reputation still, but they're a little more expensive than say Goopy seals which many people have been raving about lately with the same reliability and about 25% less cost wise.

How would you say they compare to the Ra super seal? Apparently the Ra can take a few good grenades. Ive heard they tend to eat up the Rotor housing though. Is this true? do you have any experience with them? Some one is recomending i go with them for a drift application. I want longevity most of all.

I hear ceramic are pretty much the be all end all for longevity and good wear characteristics. they'll cost you your left nut though.

Yeah, but for $1600 a set, I don't think the cost is justifiable in a street application.

You can still granade ceramocs tho.
