~ I haven’t noticed any difference in the degradation of performance whatsoever. The backing plates will not transfer over for they are glued on and won’t pull loose to swap over. Bedding the pads won’t make a difference imo. Hope this helps.
If anyone wants a full set (front & rear) of like...
That’s a personal taste question.
I like to live on the conservative side and I’m running Burger Tuning spacers in a 13mm rear and 10mm front.
Some like to aggressively push the wheels outside the fender (w/ 20-25mm) … I think it looks goofy and that one’s trying too hard… but as I...
~ I did swap back to the Z16 compound and do find them to be less dusty than the Z26.
They seem near dust free with clean wheels until about 300 miles or so then the dust or road dirt build up starts appears.
The black wheels make things worse than they may appear on a painted silver wheel...
~ Yes I read the manual in more detail after taking the photo and realized the charger wasn’t in charging status until the mode button is selected. Thanks again for the heads up in the AGM setting preference. I’ll confirm in the am.
I ended up repositioning my contacts:
I had to purchase a new metal flanged bolt and washer (oem ones are fixed as one piece - can’t separate washer from bolt). This way I could place the eye hook for the ground wire between the flange bolt and washer for an excellent ground on the battery...
Has anyone attached the eye-hooks up to the battery in the trunk? How did you remove the negative terminal bolt to attach the eye hook. The threaded bolt is un-removable. C Clamped in place unlike the positive terminal that unbolts as normal. I wanted them to be more permanent for I store the...
~ Thanks. Good point.
Yeah this particular plastic cover is semi loose and allows airflow. I stored my prior cars the same way without issue.
I believe the climate, air moisture content, humidity, storage location, etc could indeed be a factor for some.
Front wheel drive… bring on the Ohio snow. The GTI motors quite well with the Conti DWS tires.
My designated snow car (parked for the spring, summer and fall).
I’m storing my Supra for the winter and have opted for the CTEK 5.0 with an optional extended cable for ease of hook up.
Thoughts, what are you using and/or preference?
~ Good to hear… I’ve ran them on many of my cars and loved them (wet traction and wear longevity).
How are they are dry traction under aggressive acceleration with the Supra?
Thanks!
Thank you ~ I added a disposable plastic cover with semi elastic at the bottom today as well (keeps any dust particles out). Many use these temp covers at car show when a brief shower passes over. Less than $15
