They're not 326's are they???

bound to be 326s....they are cheap for a reason...try a search for Falken 326 in the suspension section :)

I'm not suggesting you take tempe's recommendation about what to buy, just they they will probably be the cheapest for whatever you have decided on....

Falken 326's are absolute rubbish

Especially in the wet

I have them on the gtr, and it gets damn slippery in the wet. Even with all four paws on the ground

You get what you pay for. But they'll last you for quite a while. Ive done just over 10k on my tyres since i got them, and they look like theyve hardly worn :)

i have them on the front, and yes they are rubbish, mine seem pretty new but the rubber on the edges has gone nice and bubbly from skidpan day :) they got treated like they deserve ehehehe

btw. falken 326s i think are the upper class tyre are tempe currently, as nowdays they also sell NANKANGs, which are even cheaper/worse!

i just found the new meaning of no grip :( i knew there was a catch to $200 tyres at 265/40/17.....

haha owned...! hopefully with no damage/death tho! :P

Keep them for drift/skidpan days? :P Or sell them to some riceburner for his civic...? ;)

Just on the topic of falkens though - do they make good tyres? a mate with a modded integra type r was saying they're awesome (forget what model tyre tho)...

Anybody got a suggestion for a set of good tyres (for a FWD :)) for around the $1200 (for all four) mark?

Cheers.

Yes Falken do make good tyres. You can't look at the base model (326s) and then judge the rest of the tyre range from that. From what I've read the 512s are decent as street tyres.

I did some reading/searching last night and I also found positive reviews for the Hankook Ventus Sport K104:

They seem to be cheap (~$250 a tyre) and good so at the moment they seem to be front runner in my choice of rubber when I get a chance to get some new rims.

No...512s are rubbish too.

FK451s are good and are a replacement for the old GRB

    • The price of every automatic S2 stagea in japan has suddenly doubled
    • thanks mate, one of the reasons I even bought it to be fair.
    • I found parts on EFI Solutions webshop that seemed to be the accurate ones. I haven't gotten around to fitting the turbos back on the car yet since I still have to deal with the shitty crack in the engine block. But I'm confident that the bolts I ordered will fit. According to EFI they are also 7-16/24. The reason M11x1 got involved here is because it is apparently very similar to 7-16/24.
    • Well, to be fair to the car I've driven it daily for almost a decade now, although in that time only put on 50k, as it just recently passed 100k miles early this year. For the most part its been fine because I've been able to source parts from AUS like jacks jdm and a few places in Japan, some things like pads have been easy since 300z pads swap right in... I realize its probably at that time in its life i should find a new DD (but I rent and only have so much space, no garage) so new cars just complicate things. As it is older though, I recognize its about that time as with my '67 GTO to maybe side step and find an alternative, but if i can keep driving it... I want to.   That said, I may just look into a local shop that might be able to, problem is the mechanic I work with has limited space as a mom and pop operation, and he's a busy busy man, so id need to find out if he can keep the car in the meantime, which may or may not be practical for him. Maybe I'll just buy one off jacks jdm and get that refurbed /shrug.. just looking at options and what others may have to offer for advice on the matter. Like I said, its hard finding people around here who actually have one, I've had mine 9 and a half years and I've met 3 others, and they are all military, one was oem from 95 with 30k miles (rip that car... guy got hit after someone crossed s double yellow, totaled it)
    • I've noticed my rear springs sag a bit compared to the fronts. I have stock springs and KYB struts. The front wheels are pretty consistent in their ride height, but compared to the front wheels, one of the rears sits 20mm lower, and the other 40mm lower. This negatively affects the ground clearance, and also angles the headlights up. What are some some economical options for new springs? Or information like good spring rates, lengths  in order to find a suitable replacement etc Far from lowering the car, I'd prefer to raise it a bit to keep it ground clearance friendly.
