hello everyone. recently i had my super now hubs taken from me against my will by a friend and fellow board member. im wondering if these hubs would have actually done anything or if i should move on entirely. a new set is 500 dollars from rhdjapan. thanks!!

 

report them stolen.

 

not enough that you will ever notice the difference.

someone once tried to claim that the stock hubs flex, cast aluminum doesn't flex.. it breaks. will you ever break a stock hub? hopefully not.

what's their benefit? THEY'RE JDM YO!

 

I had a Showroom Stock '86 RX7 that we ran in the SCCA Endurance Cup. Of course we had "stock" hubs, but, what we did notice was after racing 3-5 hrs the outside wheel developed slack and we actually would tighten the bearing nt and restake it on pit stops. About our crew chief, Daryl Drummond, made a steel spacer between the inner and outer bearings to keep them from moving together and squeezing soft aluminum casting. That did fix the problem for the rest of the season.

I wouldn't know what other benefit to do anything else other than make them out a harder metal to prevent that problem.

 

I run 245 Hoosier A6s on the front and my stock front hubs loosen up on me quite a bit when racing...

I'm upping the width in the front to 285s this season, hopefully it doesn't get worse.
