are you using longer wheel studs with the spacers?

munky69 · 02-05-2008, 06:31 AM

yeah, they come with longer studs. isn't 5mm safe on stock studs though?

STiLLWILL · 02-05-2008, 07:18 AM

All these cool parts coming in...and he still hasn't gotten his Cusco lip painted. WTF y0.

i actually just did some side jobs and sold my zune...

Chris05STi · 02-05-2008, 07:44 AM

Did you notice a noise/vibration when you installed the pitch mount? Almost like a "timing/ticking" sound when you rev the engine a lil? I noticed that after I installed my Beatrush forged pitch mount, and I can only hear it when the windows are closed. I tried listening for it at idle with the hood open and didn't hear anything, just only in the cabin with the windows closed at idle and light revs.

munky69 · 02-05-2008, 07:52 AM

to be honest i haven't noticed any NVH difference.but my car is loud/rough. i haven't driven it that much since i installed it though. but the cleaner shifts are def not in my head. everything feels better, makes me want to get engine mounts now to. i'll see if i can hear it though. i usually have the windows down so that could be why

Alright cool, let me know what you find out with the windows closed. Its weird that I now notice this, I don't have the Cusco Engine and Tranny mounts, but if I did I wouldn't be able to hear what I am now hearing haha.

do those spacers have a little lip on them to make the wheel hubcentric to the wheel?

Chris05STi · 02-07-2008, 02:00 PM

Were you able to take her for a spin to hear for that noise?

munky69 · 02-07-2008, 05:39 PM

yeah i do hear it real slight. but i have to listen for it kinda hard. nothing bothersome for me. my tic sss is louder

the indent on them allows the wheel to still sit on the hub ,and they are hubcentric to

Alright, cool, so there is a noise you hear at idle.....I worried about that. No problem with Vulcantire....they have the best prices around for Falkens!

munky69 · 02-08-2008, 06:15 AM

hell yeah they do!

Chris05STi · 02-08-2008, 06:27 AM

My STi tires are smaller than my '86 Camaro which runs 245's. I think this summer its time to upgrade
