CO track thread

Whose said they were good lol? I've never really heard anything good about the HPS making me want to buy them over a regular street pad. If you're buying a "stree only" setup, I'd suggest going with some regular run of the mill pads. Those wont dust really at all and they're a fraction of the cost of the HPS pads

Search hawk hps and read away.

So, conclusion is that the most important thing is weight, not size...good thing the 15x8's im ordering are 12 lbs!

What 15x8's are 12 pounds?

[Bishop]

Seriously lol, that's my question too

Got fed up and ordered porterfield r4-s pads. We will see how they are. If they suck I will just buy cheap pads.

The R4-s is a great street pad. Doesn't do too bad on the track either (but again, isn't a track pad either).

Made by D-Force, a new company with over a decade in the wheel business, these wheels are speced to be as light as rules allow without compromising strength. Additionally, weight has been optimized to reduce moment of inertia (MOI), making the wheels easier to spin and brake with less energy. Less unsprung, rotating mass means significant gains in performance. These are the perfect street or track wheel.

We mounted a test set on a racecar and spent two weekend trying to bend or deform them and we couldn't do it - even hitting track curbing as hard as possible. The LTW5 is one of few wheels that passes this strength test!

Sold per wheel. Fits 2002, E21, and E30 325/318 cars with 4x100 bolt pattern. 25mm offset
These and 4 other E30 wheels are at Bimmerworld, 25mm offset!!

Yeah, I have the D-forces in 15x7. They are willing to make custom wheels. I would love a 15x8 made by them.

Good to hear. Sadly I took my time so they won't get here this weekend. Sad.

Got them purely as autox wheels, so that isnt a concern. They are cheap, not shitty quality, and lightweight. cannot ask for more.

[blefevre]

Can't argue with that. What tires are you going with?

[TimR]

D Force are on sale, $104 each, proven wheel, and about $40 shipping, its the 25 mm offset you want, not possibly 20mm spacers with O/S bolts like H&R. I don't know that a 8" wheel might need to be fender rolled VS 15x7

So, im running my car is DSP, which allows for a decent amount of suspension work. I have none. So, I went with some NT-01's. Basically, my logic is that I am lacking so much in suspension that even 285 hoosier a6's would not help, so I went with a cheap, but great tire. I will eventually switch to a6's, but not until I have prepped the car lots more. Also, I get all 4 for $460!!

Also, fender rolling is in the back of my mind. A week, maybe more and I should know if I need different sized spacers or need some fender rolling. I'll let you guys know.

UUC sway bars, $440 and you get additional supports for the rear bar http://store.nexternal.com/shared/St...13&CS=uuc&All=
