How long U have em? Lugs no rust? Any link for titanium nuts? Need to do it too but i dont wana deal with rust issues and buy new set every year etc... esp that car is used winter/fall.
I originally had a different set of MSH studs for about 2 years but I needed longer ones and wanted to change lug size so I've had that exact set you linked for about half a year now, still look to be in good shape and I've tracked it in the rain. I bought these nuts: https://ti-alloys.com/product/titanium-conical-seat-lug-nut-open-ended/

Mine came in perfect condition but I recently recommended my buddy @Vertex to get them and the faces of his were pretty scratched up (we both got black) so their QA might be a bit lax. They did offer him $50 refund.

As previously mentioned, mine were scratched on 1 face on 1-2 of the lug nuts, and 3+ faces on every other lug nut. If you are just looking from afar you can't see it but I noticed IMMEDIATELY upon inspection of them. The guy I was in contact with claimed they would get ahold of the packing/shipping people that box up the nuts to "make sure" that it does not happen with future customer orders.

I actually still have yet to see my refund and will be sending another email today if I don't see something today on my card as it will be 10 days as of today which was what they promised (2-10 days) when I would see the refund. Was pretty disappointed especially with the cost that they were all like that. If they were any other color it would have been way more noticeable (brighter color) as I went with black.

No worries. Thanks for the response. Did you have someone install it or did you do it yourself? Wondering what the cost would be on this… thanks
It comes with stencils and pretty good instructions. Not the most difficult install and there are some youtube videos. I had it painted to match the car colour, which cost about $800.

Did any of you guys change to solid subframe mounts? Like millway for example.
If so, how the yfeel? Any increase in noise? I heared diff mounts are noisy, wonder how subframe is.

My solid diff mounts are still in the box until my OEM ones break. I’ve heard they will last longer than OEM but are really noisy - from a few kids that have em installed. So waiting for mine to fail 1st.

Just got back from my first dry track event with the Supra. Was a weekend event at Gingerman Raceway. Had a total blast. It was also my first time at this track. My times improved all weekend. By my last session on Sunday every lap was faster than my fastest lap on Saturday, and day over day my best lap was over 3 seconds faster.

I was there two weekends ago! What was the fastest time you ended up running?

1:50.5. You?
My fastest was a 144:9 during my last session of the weekend.

I'm running Falken RT660's and Verus camber plates. I noticed that sport traction was really starting to bottleneck my times so I turned it off completely for the last session and went from 1:47s down to consistent 1:45's, seemed like a great idea at first, then I almost went off BAD on the turn leading into the back straight, huge slide and fishtailed 3 or 4 times from trying to catch it.

I decided that it was time to be done lol!

Subframe is fine, only minimal noise increase. Diff mounts are really noisy, but it really depends on your overall setup aswell. (counts for subframe and diff mounts) But anyway, the overall performance-increase when getting solid subframe mounts is definitely worth it and should be one of the first mods IMO.
