Ok forget about the tire wear question, there's a post on that on the same page. Doh. Just need to know about the fender. Thanks.

 

Im running an 8.5 +30 on all four and its fine up front.. bumps or rubs every once in a while... not sure about the rear, you'll need some fender work and camber if you're dropped - or plan to be.

 

Hey guys
just wondering if anyone has put a gforce chip in their G? and wondered if they noticed a difference?

 

nvm...

 

I would throw in a .25" spacer, my winters are the same and they have .25" spacers
if you are lowered though you will have to take it easy over bumps
are you putting on 40 or 45 profile rubber?

 

sorry I got all sorts of confused for a second... i would do 45 in the front and 40 in the rear..

 

you should be fine

 

Are stillen HFCs good? Any rasp?

 

Im getting a squeak at slow (idle) to medium speeds that sounds to be only coming from the right rear, I cant say for sure but its only happening when I turn the car right. No squeak on left turns, or straight slow downs. My pads have about half life left in them. The brakes have been off the car lately for a spacer install, after that is when I started to notice the noise. Any suggestions as to what it is?

 

About to order some Tokico Dsp7's for my 2005 6mt sedan premium package. Question is, will I need to order the adjustable extensions for the rears or no? I think I read somewhere that those with the reclining rear seats like mine can access the rear tophat from behind the seat below some padding. I saw some coupe guys route their extensions up through the child safety seat anchors(pretty cool). I would like to do that too but only if it's necessary.

 

Is it a constant squeak or an intermittent squeak? If it's constant, it may be either your brake pads or parking brake dragging on the rotor. If it's intermittent, like say only when you tap the brakes, you may just need to lube the moving parts of brake hardware(pads,shims,retainers). You mentioned you have been removing them alot for some installs- the grease may have been just rubbed off allowing metal to metal contact noise.

 

If you have reclining rear seats you won't need the extenders. Just pull the seat backs forward, unhook the carpet from the velcro on the back shelf, and you have easy access to the adjustment *****.

 

^ Its intermittent but just barely.. I hear it during a tap or full pedal depression, sometimes even without the brakes applied. Speed and brake pressure don't seem to affect the volume of the squeak, so you're prob right about the lube. Should I try switching my rear pads? left pad to right vice versa...

 

Sweet! Thanks Bluedream! Do you have a pair or are you on coilovers? I'm gonna run my DSP-7's with my unrevised Z springs.

 

If you don't notice any extra brake dust coming off the pads and onto your wheel relative to the other rear wheel then I wouldnt imagine any of your brake components(pads, caliper,rotor) have failed. No need for any swapping if they are evenly worn. Just start with cleaning the parts with a wire brush, degreaser, and water then apply fresh brake grease. My new pads were a bit squeaky for the first 100 miles but now I don't hear anything even during a 60 mph emergency stop!
