Nothing sucks more than one of your lower control arms break on you after a few laps and being completely SOL. To prevent such a situation, Honda guys can look to Skunk2’s new high strength LCA’s. They’re made from forged aircraft grade billet aluminum with steel mounting plates. Skunk2’s new LCA’s fit EP3 Civics, [...]

The new Audi A5 and S5 models aren’t even close to being available yet and H&R Springs has already made a set of springs for it. This just confirms my theory that H&R is run by magical car gnomes that make our dreams come true. So far, H&R has springs that will lower the [...]

If you thought Skunk2 was all about power you’re incredibly wrong. They know that it takes more than horsepower to win a race, so they spend a lot of time researching suspension dynamics. The Pro-C coilover is the fruit of all their research. Skunk2 claims that the 12-way adjustable coilover set has a dampening curve [...]

Just a while ago, ST Suspension gave the GM roadster platforms some springs to ride on. Now they’re providing some much needed bars to dance with. They’ve built an anti-sway bar set that’s adjustable but keep the stock thickness (27mm in the front and 24mm in the rear). Pick these up and go stiffen [...]

LSD DOORS FOR FORD F250/350?

The question mark at the end of the title is because just like you I said “huh?” Believe it or not there are actually people in the world who have so much “style” that they would put LSD doors on a large behemoth Ford truck. I actually know one [...]

Toyo has dropped an all new D.O.T. approved R-compound competition radial, and its about as bad ass as a tire can get. It features a “semi-slick” shoulder which is meant to provide large surface contact during cornering and a “continuous center contact” tread design to make your car ride on rails at the track. [...]

ST SUSPENSIONS LOWERING SPRINGS FOR SOLSTICE/SKY
To make the Solstice and Sky dance ST suspensions has released a new spring set for the convertible platforms. The springs give a 1.3 inch drop in the front and a 1 inch drop in the back. I think the Solstice is starting to get jealous that the Sky [...]

As if everything inside the Honda fit wasn’t short or small enough, Skunk2 drops a short shift adapter kit for it. The adapter raises the stock shift box by 17mm, which reduces the throw by 22% but keeps the stock length of the shifter in tact. This means you spend less time shifting and [...]

With 505 horsepower, the Corvette Z06 is one of the fastest American sports cars that money can buy. It also just happens that American sports cars are the specialty of performance exhaust company Borla. Borla designed a 3-inch cat-back system that shaves over 30 lbs off the stock weight and adds 24 hp and [...]

When the new Si came out I thought it looked sort of like a UFO but with wheels. Not very Civic-ish but cool looking nonetheless. Now, you can give your UFO some wings with the new LSD door kit. The new kit features a side impact safety lock and something called M.A.R.A. (Multiple-Axis-Rotational-Assembly). LSD [...]
