    Anyone had luck with Accel Super Coil-on-Plugs ?

    I'm looking to replace all the Coil-on-Plug units on my Gen2. From a price perspective the Granatelli units are at the top of the range with MSD in the middle and Accel at the low point. (interesting to note that the Granatelli units are cheaper than OEM) Has anyone tried the Accel units ?

    Bad Carrier Side Bearings ???

    How can I tell if the carrier side bearings are bad ? I have a vibration that gives a wavering wow-wow-wow noise. Similar to the noise of an out of round tire.(the wheels and tires are fine and balanced to within 0.1 oz) It is most prominent between 45 and 65 mph, but you can feel it right...

    Mounted up the 275/40-17 Kumho's .... WOW !

    Finally got the 275/40-17 Kumho's mounted on the 17X9 cobra style rims. (Kumho ECSTA SPT) WOW .... what a tire ! A little noisy on the highway, but the handling is fantastic. I suppose the wider tread and stiffer sidewall just picks up more road noise ???? Quiet as kitten on side roads...

    Hey ... any of you guys running 17 inch rims, what size tire seems to fit the best in the wheel wells ? The OEM 225/60/16 inch tires had a diameter of about 26.5 inches and a tread width of almost 9 inches. It would appear that a 265/45/17 would come pretty close to the diameter, but would...
