Are your springs worn or did you just want to change the specs on your coilovers? Did you need a higher or lower spring rate or to change the height slightly? You can do so by changing your springs out with Tanabe Pro 210 springs! You do not need to have Tanabe coilovers to be able to use them. You’ll want to measure the inner diameter of your current spring and find something with the same measurement. Then you’ll want to take measurements of your old spring and figure out what spring rate and height you want. Don’t get anything to different from your current setup because your damper may need to be re-valved and the stroke length may not be appropriate for your setup.
For specs and pricing, please check the Pro 210 Springs page here

Ever receive your SSR Wheels with stickers and wonder how they go on? Well, this little blurb will help clarify that a big. One quick rule of thumb is think of the valve stem location as “6 o’clock” or the bottom of the wheel. .
Here is the SSR Professor MS3. There are no stickers on this wheel so you would just want to make sure that the valve is level with the centercap. Keep in mind that the valve is in the 6 o’clock position and the centercap should be level on the 3 and 9 o’clock axis.
Here is the SSR Professor SP1. This wheel utilizes an “SSR” sticker that would go on the spoke that’s at “2 o’clock” Again, the valvestem is at the 6 o’clock position and the centercap should be level on the 3 and 9 o’clock position
Here is the SSR Type F. This wheel has a “Type F” sticker that would go on the 3 o’clock spoke and two “SSR” stickers. The “SSR” sticker would go on the flat or “lip” portion of the wheel. One would go above the 9 o’clock spoke and the other would go below the 3 o’clock spoke. Since this wheel has a spoke in the 6 o’clock position, the valvestem would be just to the left of that spoke. Again, the centercap should be level with the 3 and 9 o’clock axis.
Hope this helps demystify some of the wonder of sticker placement for the spokes.
Also, If you’re ever taking pictures of a car or wheels, It’s always nice to turn the wheels so that the logos and caps are upright… Here’s an example of what we mean. Not that big of an issue but pictures just come out nicer this way 🙂

Congrats to Chris Forsberg and the CFR crews for another podium finish. Chris battled Daigo Saito for 3rd place and won. Decision was announced after judges claimed that Saito did a brake check or lift off throttle and caused a contact.
*Sorry for the low-res image. We will have more hi-res images in a later post.
Here are the winners:

As kids we all day dreamed of someday being able to drive a car. Paul Leduc is one of those kids at heart. Taking a turbo-charged Dodge Colt, he cut off the top and sculpted a bumper car body over the original one, using foam, steel and Fiberglas. A half-inch-thick strip of rubber was donated and became the rubber bumper around the car’s base. A 10-foot copper pole with a hook at the top and a purple holographic metal-flake paint job completed the look.
