Most every vendor out there is just a drop shipper nowadays. All they are is a storefront--no inventory. They just take orders, forward them to the manufacturer, and take their cut. The manufacturer mails the product directly to the customer. For the vendor, there's not that much to it...
One more data point on H&R. Installed this past week. No change in ride quality in either comfort/sport modes but we discovered I still had the shipping spacers on my front suspension so not sure how much that changes the equation. No noise whatsoever going over bumps. I'd say it lowered...
So, a slew of new stuff went on this week:
Apex SM-10, Satin Bronze, 19x9.5/11
Maxton V.3 Lip, Gloss Black
H&R Lowering Springs
Gloss Black Powdercoated Exhaust Tips
As an aside, Hungary may not produce a lot of passing but in terms of tracks I’d love to drive on personally, it is up there with Spa, Silverstone, and Suzuka for me.
These 19s go on tomorrow bright & early along with some stuff from H&R, Maxton and some glossy black exhaust tips…
I loved these because they remind me of the CE28Ns that Volk inexplicably doesn't make anymore in 19"s.
Yea, I think this is right. I think Hungary will be similar to the Silverstone sprint, but with Checo being closer to the front. My guess (and it's a guess like all of us) is that Max qualifies on pole and goes on to win, with Lewis and Vallteri 2nd and 3rd. I think the Merc's upgrades will...
It's very common in this industry. Virtually all of the vendors you see really don't have any inventory--they're just drop shippers. They operate a website, forward orders to the manufacturer, and take a cut. They don't bother to identify what products are in stock or backordered because they...
Looks great. I have the V.3 sitting in my garage. Did you have a body shop install it or DIY? Seems really straightforward--I just don't have the equipment handy to do it.
The main issue for me is that you can't turn ASD off. It's just mind-boggling that I can turn off traction control, I can adjust engine braking, I can change suspension dampening, but I can't turn off active sound design. I like it, but I should be able to turn it off without having to go to...

On a lighter note, this is why my daughter could not care less about Lewis and Max. Every race, she politely waits for me to stop ranting about...
Sidewall height, tire choice, and wheel choice will be pretty important. Reduced sidewall height means there is less sidewall to absorb bumps and the like. Width and profile can offset one another to a degree. So, a 305/30 tire may have a roughly similar sidewall height to a 275/35 tire. So...
