i have 0 toe on mine and as much camber as PMB's can give.... went through the wires and blew the sidewall on one of the tires in just 3 months. the other side of the tire still had like 80% of the thread

Ive been on the same tires for about 3 months now, with -5.5* camber and i have yet to start even seeing a wear patch in my tires...

and i drive it every day

Good pads, but dusty indeed. Idk who the hell told you they aren't dusty, but I got them knowing they'd be dusty, but give me really good braking. They do squeak before they're heated up too lol.

From what I remember, they dust. But then again, I haven't seen or touched my car for 4 months... Lol.

Therefore my opinion/experience may not be very helpful....

silviaguy240 · 03-05-2012, 09:00 PM

i know my HP+'s were dusty as fuck.

Maybe they didn't stick cus they're a smoother surface? My regular silver RPF1's collect the dust from what I remember... Just know my front wheels were always more dusty than my rears, even after doing some skid racing.

Tarrbaby · 03-05-2012, 10:44 PM

Promise Land - they are just the lenses pulled apart and then custom mounts made and quarter lights custom mounts made to attach to the main lense. And all sprayed black obviously.

daftphunk · 03-05-2012, 11:01 PM

If you run massive camber then it's obvious that you gotta flip your tires before you get to the wire to get the most out of them.

chinabean · 03-05-2012, 11:45 PM

Needs new paint and spacers or re-barreling the wheels

and definitely clear lenses and junyuns lol

I have Project Mu Type NS in the front and HP+'s in the rear (300zx F and stock R). My rear wheels were always wayy more dusty than my front, and they are definitely noisy also (the HP's). This year I'll be ditching the HP's in the back for some sort of Project MU pad, unless someone has other suggestions.

greddy2die · 03-06-2012, 06:38 AM

I have those Hawk pads and cot daymn are they dusty. I dislike how much brake dust collects on my front rims after such a short time of driving after I wash my car.

Btw here are more pictures of that red zenki from down under care of Shirtstuckedin.com

Yeah I see they sit really flush any spacers?

What's the spec on the wheels by the way?
How those coils feel road wise..

It could use some moar low and a little camber chinabean.

dtfdanyo · 03-06-2012, 10:19 AM

can't wait to see that aussie car painted. ugh so hot

They are Work Equip Voggerds 18x9's +25 offset and no spacers

These coils aren't bad at all, I had stance LX+ on my old s14 and for what its worth they feel about the same - it's just the like dampening knob is plastic instead of metal that i'd complain about but they are good for me overall and a lot of locals here run em'

definitely needs to go lower but any lower at this point would make it very difficult for me to into school parking lot lol, i'm already scrapeing as it
