Lets just say this... a 1jz cressida I bought has one. It's been in the car for about 4-5,000 miles at 13psi... ~325tq. I turned it up to 19psi for 1 day ~375tq and it's been completely mangled since. Won't even hold 8psi now.

JUNK.

I have a regular boring Cressida, and I always dreamed about the swap. But my FD is here to stay so that will never happen now

I'll buy em on ebay, but they've got to be a brand I already know and trust. I got a great deal on a set of Volk LE37Ts off of eBay, and my new Alpine sounds great. IIRC, Shine Auto Project sells on eBay and their rep speaks for itself.

No Godspeed or SSAutochrome crap on my car, though.

^this!

don't get cheap on rotating parts in your engine/drivetrain!
If you've ever seen pictures of exploded cheap F1 racing flywheels, you will never even think of getting stuff from this knockoff company!

^^^ 100% yes.

6 puck is chattery and nasty to drive. Sucks so much *****. And adds unnecessary shock and vibration through your transmission which we all know is not the strongest.
