Housing....I don’t think I am going to use them
.....the 09 housing has the chatter marks and the 04 has chrome flaking on 1 edge


Apexes are way taller than spec (.218 vs. .200)....probably not a bad thing. There is also a pretty serious mark on 1 of the apexes....how and why would a corner seal do this?.....possibly rotor....finishing cleaning them today to find out

When you put the apex up against my precision scale (that’s a ruler for the rest of you
) you can see there is about .001.....it’s nearly impossible to measure accurately with the tools I have but you can visually see it.....the photo exaggerates it

E-shaft is good in all aspects but there is slight wearing on the rotor journals...I think for $180 might as well get a new one.

is that a true flat edge? If it is then damn--you need to tall with the person that sold them to you.
when did you start wearing fingernail polish?
Where the hell did that mark come from?
easy to see the contact mark midway on the apex--you can see how a taller seal may help some people.
09 housings can be used in earlier models? I thought they are slightly different?

Taht's a lot taller than stock, wtf? lol
meh, like I said, it's either OEM or go all out for Ceramics. Be it Dr.I or NRS.
the 2nd housing is trash, u got that from Atkins too ?

size is the same, just gotta plug the extra hole and it's all good.



hang in there buddy, I need you to finish so we can start up huge clinics in SA and Houston and I can make mad money.
