Currently having an issue sourcing the correct Spigot rings Purchased a set of Work Kiwami 18x8.5 ET38 alloys and the set sent by the retailer do not fit. Unfortunately, they have said the ones sent are the only ones they supply, and are correcly sized. They admit they indeed do not fit the wheels purchased but as they dont have an alternative, advised I could always shave a few mil off each to make them fit. Not really what I expected to hear after the money spent with them but hey ho🤨 Although the rings are marked with the correct inner 56.1mm bore and the correct outer 60.1mm the issue I have is the tapered section is too tall and therefor sits proud on the face. See pic. I have since rang six companies advertised on the net and they all only have the same beige rings in that size. The only one that looks to be ideal (shorter tapered section) is the black one, (pic below) found on a French site but they have no stock! Does anyone have these WORK wheels or ones with the same inner bore size on their twin? Any advice or recommendation on where I can source the correct ones without the lottery of just buy and see or having to go custom made would be appreciated.

Cheers Neil That's a good call, thanks

Hi Church. I've read conflicting info ref the negative effects of not using them but agree, mounting and removing would be far easier and less likely to result in damage to the locating holes of the wheels or nuts with some fitted and would prefer to have a set on.

Looking at the Millers website two options for engine oil are shown: EE Performace 0w20 and XF Premium 0w20 which replaces the old XF Longlife 0w20. Besides the price differential (the EE is more expensive) does anybody know what is the difference?

Thanks for info

Unfortunately, the design of the Ohlins leg has cut out recesses around the holes which makes fitting existing designed camber bolts difficult and unsafe

Cheers Church Reason I am asking is I would only have adjustment from the Powerflex eccentric bushings as my Ohlins struts don’t take camber bolts🙄. Like you I was disappointed with the noise exhibited by pillow ball top mounts. I wouldn't have an issue if it spent more time on the track than the road, but it doesn’t at present. Even so I am looking for a little neg camber on the front. Not looking for big numbers but would like at least 1.5 Neg camber as I enjoyed how the car behaves over the standard zero camber setting. From what you say it sounds like that could be achievable with just the Pedders top mounts and the Powerflex LCA bushes

Thread resurection time Hi guys, can I ask, regarding the Pedders top mounts did you find you got roughly equal side to side Neg camber numbers with them or did you have to dial in the difference with the camber bolts/ LCA bushings?

Have other owners experienced a big increase in screen damage from road debris on the twin from other vehicles they drive? Obviously, the vehicle is low, but my screen seems to get hit nearly every flaming month! I keep my distance from vehicles ahead and TBH the last two hits came from vehicles travelling in the opposite direction. My screen now has twenty-two teeny weeny hit marks of which two have developed into small cracks, so the time is near for a replacement me thinks! Just wondering how others fare

At what point would you consider the above kit a necessity and at what point would it be considered pointless? I already have the Whiteline KCA435 kit fitted due to a 25mm drop on coilovers and it had a positive effect, but I am now considering raising the front end approx. 10mm. The reason being the rear was raised for safe Helholtz resonator clearance a little while ago and I would like to even out the ride height.

My new JDM wheels have finally landed and I am still undecided what size tyres to go for. Wheel size is 18x8.5J. ET38. Running Ohlins coilovers Looking for recommendations for tyre size and not make. What size would you go for and why?

TBH apart from the fact that you can add castor to these top mounts, not really much difference that I could feel. Both these and the Ohlins top mounts are well built and show no signs of damage or corrosion in the time they were fitted. One downside to the Raceseng design is their seperate bolt mount design requires the fitment of their longer bolts to fit a strut mount. The upside is their bearings come as a seperate part so far easier to replace. These also look much nicer under the bonnet .
