I'm just gonna throw this out there....

I bought a set of Hankook v12 evos and they suck balls.

Straight line traction is good...(compared to my bald RE050As) but the sidewalls suck horse ****. I swear, I would take my bald REs over buying these things again. If you like the way your Z drives now... DONT use these tires.

I think Windex would agree with me. I hate them.

Rant on my good man.:tup:

KaienZ34 05-27-2011 06:44 PM

O so i don't forget, the amuse is sold and on it's way to Seattle. It's going on a PW Z still just not mine.:mad:

metz 05-27-2011 08:02 PM

I was hoping you made a sale to that guy.
Sounds like you weren't the only one with the Stillen splitter to fall off. Some other guy made a thread about it bashing Stillen. A couple of people came in there saying theirs fell off.

TypeOne 05-31-2011 01:55 PM

Metz, link me to that thread?

Yea straightline traction is awesome. but the car just doesn't feel as stable above 70mph. David says its sidewall flex. I've kinda gotten used to them. Oh the wet performances was great though kinda weird.

ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhh thead = deleted!

Oh well.. Stillen has been cool to me so I can hate on them. My lip fit fine, until it fell off. lol

For the price, you can't really hate either. I'm going to get another one and have it painted silver to match my front.

metz 06-03-2011 11:27 AM

Yeah the guys bashing really was kinda messed up. He basically started that because they wouldnt give him free stuff. Why he would think any company should just start handing out things is odd. The only thing that made me think of you was that there were about 4 people that said in there that their front lip fell off. Seems to be that the mounting hardware they provide isnt good. They had a couple of people say that they noticed this immediatly and changed it out to longer screws and whatnot. So find something other than what it comes with or use some screw clips or something.

TypeOne 06-03-2011 11:55 AM

Yea, I totally agree with the hardware thing. It's basically a few small self tapping screws and some 3M tape. When I put my next one on I'm going to run bolts and backing clips.

I'm not asking for anything free... especially because the circumstances weren't their fault. I ran over something in the road which was unavoidable which make it fall off. I would have much rather me loose the $200 lip over wrecking my car or hitting someone else.

The lip kit aside, I didn't find the intakes to be a very good fit though... When they come with a $500 price tag, I did expect a little more.

Customer service is lacking in alot of places these days, but that guy went too far. I will tell all of you dont buy anything from that VIP guy. If he wouldve come thru I would have a better taste in my mouth. He promised to refund me some money when I kept trying to cancel my order, well that never came thru.

stells370 06-03-2011 11:34 PM

kainen is the car in your sig yours? is the front emblem shaved? im putting my car in the shop monday to fix a crack from the previous owner and was debating shaving the emblem, looks great btw:tiphat:

metz 06-03-2011 11:40 PM

None. I had only ordered the kit but I tried to get my money back numerous times. He said hed refund some of it and even kept saying it after I got it (which i was pissed that the weave was messed up on the sideskirts) but Ive never seen it.

Yes that's mine in my sig, but the emblem is just pshoped. One day i'll have it shaved, as i hate it. It's the only bad looking thing on the car IMO.

That sucks, the guy that bought my amuse kit. Got the same kit as you from the same place. His car was at the shop in pieces front and rear on without any problems. The sides where so bad that he would rather buy a whole new kit then try and fix them.

Yea... Def not going... I don't do anything with the young Z/G group

TypeOne 06-10-2011 01:03 PM

I feel inclined to delete myself from the group... but it's kinda funny to see some of the things that people talk about. Literally had a guy arguing with me about how awesome his fake Bride seats were and how he "checked them with a fine tooth comb" for strength.

Face + Palm = me

still thinking about selling your tein springs? lmk

TypeOne 06-13-2011 02:55 PM

Actually yea, I am going to sell them... But Jimmy actually has dibs on them... he hit me up a few weeks ago asking about them.

I just ordered some goodies today so I'm totally excited about it!

I got..

Weds SA55M MGM 19x9.5+15 and 10.5+15
Weds Center caps
Project Kics R26 Neo Chrome lugs
BC Racing BR coilovers (230mm spring)

After a few days debating whether or not to stance this thing, I decided against it and went with a set of wheels that were lightweight and strong. I want to drive the car so putting lead wheels on it didn't seem like a smart idea.

Hopefully I should have all of these on soon, at some point next week.

Win!

stells370 06-13-2011 02:57 PM

sounds good hope it comes out how you want! i think i better wait on a set of swifts or h@rs anyways

I've heard nothing but good things about the Swifts.

If you're interested, I'm a Swift dealer and can usually get them for good prices. I got a few friends some prices for EVO and S2k.

Once you are finished with your setup, we should all have a get together! I think we are long over due for one.
