What did you do with your Z today II

Why do you prefer Eibach Mr. Kenchan? Is it because of the lip issues with H&R

Mr.kenchan, if I am getting the studs-replacement type, then I will have my mechanic prepare them for me, so I won't worry about the length of the studs.

If I go with bolt-on, then for sure I will go for the best quality since I want to make sure the spacers will bolt onto the hub properly.

My understanding is for the studs-replacement type, the most important is the length of the replacement-studs, and it sits centered on the hub.

If it meets those two criteria, the studs-replacement spacer is being sandwiched between the wheel and the hub, and all three parts, hub-spacer-wheel, are tighten by 5 X single-stud&lug.

I find it seems a safer and sturdier setup than the bolt-on.

Correct??

That is part of it but I think they are pretty much equivalent parts as far as weight and craftsmanship.

Wat I worry about no brand is the materials they use. Even stock studs break if torqued incorrectly using no spacer. Atleast oem studs are manufactured to meet a very rigorous validation process. Unless over torqued significantly stock studs don't usually break. No brands could be studs made at some bonehead factory using contaminated materials using weak manufacturing process. It might appear strong, it can still break under normal use.

I do not think stud replacement types are any stronger than bolt on type if bolt ons are used correctly. bolt on types are convenient to use on wheels that have cavities between the studs on the disc. Stud replacement type is more convenient for all sorts of wheels although a little bit of a pita to install or remove.

Finally drove my car today a little to test it out,it runs great and it revs up like my GSXR 750,man tomorrow if the weather is good about 30 of us are going to Z1 for a BBQ and dyno day I'm going to put it up on the dyno to see if the proof is in the pudding.
