  1. Has anyone tried different degrees??
  2. Thanks for all the knowledgable help!!
  3. Hey guys I just put a Fidanza exhaust cam gear on my 02 IS300. What degree (advanced or retarded) has anyone tried? I found one thread that says best results @ 5 degrees retarded but I thought I may have read one a while back about 8 degrees retarded for best performance. I have Tanabe exhaust and an AEM intake tube installed.
  4. Thank you!!! I think I like the Hotchkis ones. Even my stillen ones with 61%f and 121% r, the rear felt still not stiff enough.
  5. Do you know the stiffness increase over stock of the Daizen ones? The Hotchkis ones are 61% front and 227% rear increase.
  6. I measured the front (stillen) is 30 mm. So that may be a better setup anyway. I may have to scoop that up. Have you read or heard any reviews about the Hotchkis setup (good, great, not so good????)?
  7. I'm a 10 year master auto tech from WI. Your tires will not crack because of the cold. The only way you'll crack tires is if you buy race tires and drive them daily. They may crack due to too many heat cylces and the rubber will harden (on the race tires). Get yourself a Dunlop with a ultra high performance all season rating or high performance all season rating. We don't get pounded by too much snow to worry a great deal.
  8. I figured I would get hosed. Thanks for the reply. I can't seem to find another 21mm rear bar. You think a 19mm could be made as stiff even if it is smaller dia.?
  9. Hey guys, I purchased Stillen front and rear sway bars for my 02 Is300 about 1-1.5 years ago. Just recently I noticed some poor handling and noticed the rear sway bar is broken. The car had not been crashed or driven in any way to cause undue stress to the suspension. Has anyone had this problem or heard of it happening. I called Stillen and they said "too bad" and that I needed to contact whomever I purchased it from. They stated that they do not make that part anymore. The problem is I can not find my record of purchase and can not find any sites that I may have purchased it from. I did buy them new and install them myself. Any thoughts or suggestions. Thanks
