        I have 17x9 4x100 racing dynamics and they are pretty light
        Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!

          There's a supplier on ebay somewhere, don't remember the name who sells Team Dynamics wheels and he says he can custom order them to just about any size.

              so got the brakes done; lost a bit over 5lbs per side with the UUC setup!

              I decided to get the new fluid into the clutch system while I was down there ended up messing up the clutch system pretty bad. fluid flows out of the slave just fine, but the peddle will not build pressure and just flops around freely. I've bled 4-5 clutch s,(mine 3 times) and never had issues like this. I ran 32oz of fluid through the slave and it wont build pressure.

                have you tried to reverse bleed it or vacuum bleed it?

                  I've bleed 2 clutches and those times it was magic when they caught and started to build pressure.

                      I had issues with mine too when I replaced the slave. What I did that I found worked was with the slave hanging down I removed the bleed screw, pushed the piston in all the way and held it there. Then reinstalled and tightened the the bleed screw. Then released the piston. It's a bit tricky to do on your own. A second set of hands helps.

                        Bought a power bleeder and fixed the clutch, its actually 100x better than it was previously, much stiffer and more progressive.

                        and now my review on the brakes.

                        Overall I love them but there are some things I dont like about them.

                        Pro- they stop amazing, look great and lost a total of 11lbs overall. Exactly what I was looking for.

                        CONS-
                        -#1-Biggest con is the stupid spring clips that hold the pads in. the consistently loosen up and move into the rotor and make a terrible noise. I bent them to fit tighter but they still moved a bit after a good drive.

                        -#2-Second con, the rotors seems to be out of true. At over half braking pressure I now get a shimmy that is a bit frightening. I torqued and locktited everything to UUC's specs but still have these small issues.as I rotate the rotor there is a small section of it that contacts the pad as I spin, same on both sides.

                        I did this to bed them.
                        "1. After installing new brake pads, make 6 to 10 stops from approximately 30-35 mph applying moderate pressure.
                        2. Make an additional 2 to 3 hard stops from approximately 40 to 45 mph."


                        I'll report back after more driving but those are my initial impressions.


                        In other news I killed my falken tires. they went from like 40% tread this morning on the rear down to nothing on the inner camber area and after one donut and a rolling burnout they were down to nothing:( so I think I'll grab some news wheels and tires.

                              think I'm going to run turbo style wheels. 4x100 and 8.5" wide, and concave, everything I want
