  1. I have some. They have seen 25-28k miles so pretty new Pm an offer dude
  2. Lol Naa I get it now. Wasn't sure of the order in which these were installed jo3 u cheeky bas! Well for me I would like 15mm if I can. Can't fensport do us studs that actually fit instead of oversized ones?
  3. Silly question but can you pull the bolts through for us when you get them from fensport if you have the tools/know how? That would be much better I think if they are ready to fit?
  4. Stewart, I was just gonna message you o ask if you could offer the extended bolts. I thought yours was a no go since you didn't offer the extended studs but If you can please do find out as we would much rather prefer to put business your way As mentioned before please let us know a cost for 5 or 10 of these full kits with studs (15mm) Thanks
  5. Shaun, not sure those can be 15mm since there is not enough metal for the studs to grip into. Bet they are 30mm? Anyways I've emailed the guy to ask a price for 5 or 10 sets. We have 5 people at the moment anyways. Will update when I get any word back
  6. Thanks for the replies Jo3, can you please post a link for the ones you got? I can only find the 30mm ones Thanks for the guide also
  7. Ive searched for Germany spacers, eBay spacers etc and it's not coming up So can anyone tell me where I can get those spacers from eBay that are ji centric and have the bolts? Also any fitting guides? Thanks
  8. The tyres are on the right wy though since it says outside on the outside wall if that's what your meaning?
  9. Sorted the tracking of the car and it's a bit better but they just align it to your back wheels £15 for a temp fix is okay. It still shudders especially under braking. I've upgraded to a BBK...any problem with that you think?like a wrapped disk? I don't even use the brakes that hard anyways. Tyres are on the right way.
  10. Hey Im a bit concerned about my car..... I used to have t1r on the front in 215/45/17 and the rear were budget westlakes and a pirelli on the other side (205/45/17) and the car handled great- back would step out before the front as expected. Now, i upgraded my rear tyres to eagle f1 asymmetric 2 in a 215/45/17 so now all 4 tyres are running the same size. I have done around 300 miles so they have scrubbed in for sure but the car feels like its all over the place- anything above 80mph on the motorway and i really feel like i could loose it any minute! it horrible! i was cornering a banked curve with this porsche and my car should have had the advantage being front wheel drive but he confirmed what I thought which was that my car really does not have the grip i think it used to now there is is one thing that i have had wrong with the car for 1.5 years and thats a shake from the front right tyre (driver's side) since i drove over a pothole. i got my alignment checked and he said my toe is way out but i want to align it all together once my front tyre is replaced so no point in spending £15 for adjust toe, then change tyre then get it all aligned again 9castor, camber and toe) or is it?? what do people think? national have an offer for £15 to sort out your toe. is it worth doing that just now? but what i don't get is my car has been like that for 1.5 years (cuz I'm trying to get the council to agree to pay the costs!) and the car was fine. either the eagle f1's are shocking or the increase in tyre size on the rear is a no go? car doesn't feel planted either- almost like there is body roll. could something else be damaged? thanks for your help. my wife needs to drive it on the motorway and I'm worried for her- if i was shitting it from scotland to manchester all the way at 80mph she will for sure! thanks guys
  11. will see what tyre shopper come back and say- if they say no then I really advise people to sign up to top chasback since I got £26.30 back for ordering 2 goodyear eagle f1 tyres so overall they worked out less than £100 fitted per tyre where as usually they are £110-£115. I have a referal link in my other thread in the general discussion titled £26.30 back etc.... camskill got back to me and said no they wont offer a GB price.
  12. They are the new ones the asymmetric 2's To be honest I bought them after your recommendations lol Only done 15 miles or so in them so still scrubbing in. Thinking of getting 2 more for the front now even though my Toyo's have plenty of tread left...one of them has a slight wobble at high speeds so can maybe change them
  13. Hey guys Just wanting to highlight a good offer I found on the net. Tyre shopper.co.uk for Eagle F1 Asymmetrics which have been rated very hghly from a few people. they were the cheapest place to have them delivered and fitted at £110 a corner for 215/45/17. So curently its prob the place to buy them. What sweetened the deal was the cashback I got from topcashback= worked out to £26.30 which has now cleared so it makes this place (currently) the cheapest place to get eagle f1's in this size. anyways Ive used topcashback for loads of stuff and made a bit of cash back on stuff i was gonna buy. if anyone wants to join here is a referal link - http://www.topcashback.co.uk/ref/gurjitsidhu its free btw and just so you know im not some new memember who has just joined trying to drop free advertising lol- i only put links and recommend stuff that actually works and this really does. there is also quidco which is more well known but their cashback rates are sometimes less than topcashback (marginally) http://www.quidco.com/user/1574550/ However quidco are good at giving cashback when you use your debit card instore- for example I bought a cinema ticket and I got 60p cashback without realising- not much but hey...why not On another note I have emailed camskill and tyre shopper and asked if they will offer further discounts if we arrange a GB of tyres for a variety of sizes- i told them it should be more than £26 since thats what you can get from topcashback- I will let you know what they say EDIT: camskill just replied and said no....BOOOO!!!. waiting for tyre shopper now
  14. One thing ive thought is that we should time to time arrange group buy on tyres....everyone needs them and they are expensive. should be able to arrange GB on toyos and eagle F1 since they seem to be the best/ highest rated tyres. even if its for a variety of sizes, the fact that camskill or another company know that they will get 10 orders of t1r and 10 of eagle f1 should warrant some kind of discount? does anyone on here sell tyres? as in any of the corp members? EDIT: just sent and email to camskill and tyre shopper to ask them if it would be possible. even running it every 6 months could save people some money- I would rather buy tyres and keep them in my shed if i got them at a good GB price than have to buy expensiveones when I really need them.
  15. Heard that toad systems are very good and much cheaper than Clifford. If I were you I would visit a dealer who knows this stuff and see what he recommends then shop around?
  16. also chaps its worthwhile getting 4300K bulbs if 6k are notbright enough. I changed mine and noticed a huge difference- 4300K definately has the best light output and doesnt look as yellow as nightbreakers. What i do is have a set of 6k and 4.3k bulbs and use the 4.3k in winter and the 6k in summer. 6k definately look better especially since ive the gtr headlights so the LED's are pure white as well as the halos so running 4.3k looks considerably more yellow so 6k looks ideal. For people running the standard headlights, I dont see why 4.3k would be an issue- after about 20 hours of use the get whiter and whiter
  17. I also got them for my mums car and thought they were just like normal. But then I think I may have got sold fake one...I imagine there are so many out there because I got mine at a bargain price of £12 when everywhere else was doing them for £23+
  18. Bought eagle f1 assymetrics 2 because couldn't find a bad review about them. Expensive. It hopefully it will pay off
  19. what you running just now J03 and what size? its a shame since the T1r were fantastic but mayve they are limited to just the dry- wet was good initially but i think they like a bit of temperature in the tarmac. the size difference doesnt make the front looks strage at all which im glad about- just looks like the front is a few mm lower than the back since it fills out the arches and i prefer the look and practicality of the 215/45/17
  20. hmm okay ive been running 205 and 215 for a year with no VSC issues so didnt think i would have any. was thinking of the rainsport 2 instead of the Toyo's if the rainsport are much better in the rain but now im hearing mixed reviews :s
  21. umm i cant remeber- i just searched for 215 45 17. last time camskill didnt price match ebay. BUT ive jsut been reading some not so great reviews on the Rainsports so im thining of Pilot Sports. I wanted 215 45 17 however they dont do them in that size so is it best to stay stock size (205/45/17) or get the 225/45/17. these ones will prob be at the back. what are peoples general thoughts
  22. see i have never found black circles cheap but a lot of people buy tyres from CCUK on there...is there a discount code or something? for example- fully fitted from black cirlces is £123.14 per corner...thats a lot me thinks. might just have to get the ebay ones which works out to £80.50 each then pay arund £10 for fitting. another thing- anyone ever used the richbrook valves? are they any good?
  23. Hey For those of you getting a bit confused ive edited my first post completely instead of making a new one. So I was thinking of getting rainsport 2 in 215/45/17 however read some reviews that said they are no better in the wet than some other good tyres and the uniroyals have gone up in price a lot. so im thinking michellin pilot sports 3- heard great reviews but they only do 205/45/17 OR 225/45/17. I currently have toyo t1R which are 215/45/17 on the fronts and the rear ones (currently 205/45/17) need replaced so whats your thoughts on the tyre and size? thanks! oh and they are going on my GT Tech 5 rims which are 205/45/17 as standard I thought but I liked the extra sidewall protection and it fills the arches nicely!
