Florida B.S. Thread

yes u have to lube the DSM UCAs. Also i am going to pull my rear wheel spacers off so u can have them. They are 1.5"

The 255s are nice tires and so are the 285s just personal preferance

 

all uniballs require lubing and all poly bushings require it....both you are looking at have those features.

 

I'd appreciate it just pm me a price.

And so either way im doing maintenance? Its not a issue just want to know before I buy. Wich one is ultimately better.

 

if you come pick them up they are free. other wise just pay for shipping.

Well the LR ones are adjustable so you will be able to get your alignment in near perfect. They look similar to stock so they dont add to much extra strength like the DSM ones do. Its really up to if you want your alignment in spec. If you do get the LRs if you r fine with it being alittle out than get DSMs

 

Yeah cause this check is when im buying them i.e. friday. And the dsm group buy is 525 shipped. I dont care much about aligntment as long as my tires wear good. They wont wear uneaven a little off right?

 

I think there's other factors like tire pressure and how you drive that will affect wear too.

i have the light racing ones. the arm itsself it much stronger than stock. not sure on the sixe, but the balljoint they use is huge, and allows as much travel as the uniball ones. however, i'm about ready to buy a uniball upper now. the reason i want to is actually because they require a little loveing every so often. it's two fold...if it requires some maintaining, that means the parts are also replacable. if i blow out a bushing or baljoint on the light racing ones, it's much more of a hasle to get them back up and running than the others with poly bishings and uniballs. unfortunately i may be at that point right now. i think my balljoints may be shot. when i get home i'm going to take them appart, give them a good degreasing, and relube the best i can.

as far as TC vs DSM, they are both built with a couple extra degrees in the right direction to correct allignment, so no matter what UCA you get, you'll be fine there. it pretty much comes down to choose your style (box or tube).

 

DSM it is thanks guys and thats a good link fink.

 

Mr. HID man
I bought an HID kit from a guy on here a while ago but when I got it, the bulbs were shot. The ballasts say 35w. Can I put any temperature bulb on them as long as they are 35w bulbs?

 

Hey all you FL guys, anybody in Tampa right now? Just got back from our cruise and staying at the Holiday Inn Express near the airport, awesome area compared to VA.

 

Yup. You can put whatever you want.

 

nice. how was the cruise? Where did you go?

 

wattage is determined by the ballast and color is determined by the bulb. i believe most bulbs included it 35w kits are actually rated for 55w, so you should be good with whatever you go with. just pick a color

 

The cruise was great, much better than I ever expected it would be with 2100-something people onboard. We went to Cozumel - Mexico, Belize City - Belize, Roatan - Honduras, and Grand Cayman. It was awesome and I wouldn't hesitate to go again.

 

Awesome. i have been to everywhere but roatan. I am looking to go on one once the summer is over and the prices come down alittle.

 

wow, that's one hell of a trip. you get to do any diving?

 

Thanks. Much cheaper to buy just bulbs then a whole new kit.

 

very true.

 

Yeah it was great. Not sure what you've seen about Roatan, but the snorkeling/view there is unbelievable. There are so many colorful fish and so much coral that it is an awesome thing to see. We went to Tabyana Beach which is 30 min from Mahogany Bay (where the Carnival ships go) and did our snorkeling there. So relaxing. I did see a big ass eel hiding in the coral that scared the shit out of me when I was snorkeling though.

Ever been on the eastern Caribbean cruises?
