  1. 285/35-18 Hankook RS4s on FK8?

    Right, as they’re not made by Hancock in that size. Didn’t realize it was the RS4’s or bust. Seems to be a solid 3-5 options that are at least as good as the hancooks If you really wanted to see what 285’s would do.
  2. 285/35-18 Hankook RS4s on FK8?

    Maybe a dumb question, but why not 285/30-18?

  5. Spec Clutch Install Issues

    Update: Received the new pressure plate overnighted to me yesterday. Dropped it off and am waiting word back now on it being completed. It did NOT bend in with use. It was installed and never used.
  6. Spec Clutch Install Issues

    Gotcha. So, basically what you’re saying here is if my installer tries charging anything beyond my original quote I should have clear grounds to stand on to say no? Based on others stating that they should have known about it visually and had doubts, and what you’re saying, that’s how I’m...

    Who said anything about loose bolts? Maybe I missed something. I’m not following what you’re saying here.
  8. Spec Clutch Install Issues

    Man, what doesn’t the UK do better than the US. Here in the states there’s nothing legally stated about labor. Thankfully my shop has been understanding and with this news from you guys, I’m sure they’ll be even more so moving forward.
  9. Spec Clutch Install Issues

    Here’s the morning update. Spec called and after they saw the images their whole attitude changed. They’re overnighting a new pressure plate and want to hear back that the issue is resolved.
  10. Spec Clutch Install Issues

    This information is frustrating to me. Appreciate it, at least I can use this if they start and argue labor fees.
  11. Spec Clutch Install Issues

    I’m assuming it did look like this when installed considering the issues popped up right away. I was quoted one additional hour for labor beyond what the warranty was covering for the separate issue. I will not be paying more than that.
  12. Spec Clutch Install Issues

    Yeah I’ve learned that the hard way here. Working to get a refund.
  13. Spec Clutch Install Issues

    So the installer and spec spoke today. Seems that the clutch was manufactured improperly. Working through MAP to get a refund. They’re giving me some pushback but at the end of the day I think it’ll get taken care of. Now I’m debating getting a new OEM clutchplate while they’re in there.
  14. Spec Clutch Install Issues

    Already touched base with MAPerformance and they’re reaching out to spec before fully processing a return. Frustrating to me at this point, but I guess that’s the way it goes?
  15. Spec Clutch Install Issues

    No, I was actually having issues shifting into second, and it would pop out, etc. I still have warranty, so they replaced the fork, synchro and a couple other things. It now goes into second no problem every time. When the car is off it shifts in every gear smooth as ever. While they were in...

  17. Spec Clutch Install Issues

    The 5 inches is just an estimate. I can tell you it CLEARLY feels much much lower to the ground when it engages and when in gear coasting, there was a very subtle grinding noise that was not present before, almost like it hadn’t fully engaged? Hard to say here, but very frustrating. It’s been...
  18. Spec Clutch Install Issues

    I’ve contacted MAPerformance, who is contacting spec. At this point, If determined a clutch component, spec lost my business. If not, and they state I need to buy an additional component, I’m double out as I feel this is awful business practices. Just found this post on the forum as I was...
  19. Spec Clutch Install Issues

    This was already adjusted as much as possible. Still experiencing the same issue.
  20. Spec Clutch Install Issues

    I mean, the pedal feels “normal”. Lot more weighty, which to be expected. It feels like it engages about 5 inches off the ground.
