Re: RF tire rubbing at full lock...

compare shape of fender liner on each side - that one looks a little distorted.

Otherwise, is there any issue with LF corner of car being pushed back (accident history)?

Re: 3" Quiet Exhaust

not sure why you are hooked on shittyworks products Easy, big fella....not sure where you're directing your comment. I'll own it, but I was only looking at what seemed to be readily available in 3". I honestly have no experience with their products, so I'm definitely not "hooked". Qu...

Re: 3" Quiet Exhaust

I don't think there's a "quiet" solution working with 3" all the way through the system. Factory muffler options to consider are the G8 GXP, 2014 SS sedan, and not much else. The PPV mufflers are actually quietest, since they contain a built-in J-tube that is intended to mitigate the ...

Re: Driveshaft vibration

What is your reference to the "Giubo" - the flange on the transmission or the drive shaft damper to the prop shaft itself? Are you referring to bolt PN 92139225? This bolt threads into the "tri-wing" output shaft flange at the back of the transmission. https://www.rockauto.com/en...

Re: Powerstop Upgrade

Here is a further point to ponder....brake "upgrades" should not reduce rotor mass. Drilling & slotting of rotors does exactly that. I'm not faulting anyone for choosing to use PowerStop or any other brand of rotor. Even my own PPV has DBA slotted rotors, however they are larger in dia...

Re: Brakes??? ::(

Don't misunderstand - I'm not using that kit, I just looked up the info for the correct OEM kit from PowerStop. I don't have any other answers for you. I would compare Jegs & Summit pricing, as they offer "free" shipping, where Rock Auto does not. Rock Auto does provide an additional 5...
