Going back to 2mm seals

Going back to 2mm seals, and want to know what brand you guys have been using. I have been using 3mm hurley seals, and want to switch back. I like the price of hurley, but want to know what else is out there for the price. Also were can you get solid 2mm corner seals?

Try using stock 2mm seals, they've proven themselves time and time again.

Rob,
IF your rotors are in good shape and in are cut for 3mm, you may want to try the NRS seals. They are proven and actually seal as well as the 2mm seals. I just ordered a set.

Good to see your keeping the car. Hope all is well with the family.

I thought Ray Wilson would "never" touch 3mm seals...?

Thanks Ernie for the tip, but one of my rotors is shot. I blew it up in the final with Jimmy along with the intercooler if you remember. I want to try 2mm again and get away from the nitrous. I was making just under 600 with a fresh 3mm motor. We'll see what happens. I think I am going to go with Hurley 2mm seals. Thats all I can afford right now with a 3 month old daughter, and we are doing well, and thanks for asking. I am sure I will see you at the track this year.

Awesome bro, congrats.
As far as your seals go, I have had good results with the Atkins seals. You can buy them cryro-ed for $300. I running the standard atkins seals now and have been running the same motor that made 735hp since July. Only reason Im switching is because Im going to use nitrous this summer.

Mono4lamar,
Ray has no issue with using 3mm seals.

lerch32: I've seen your car running at Dinwiddie. Nice clean car. Runs strong too. Keep it up. Hopefully I'll get to meet some of you guys this year.
