P1000 Is anyone running 4/137 lug pattern wheels?

[PioneerPete]

just curious how these worked out, if anyone has tried them on the P1k.

My sti wheels are 4/137. They seem to fit perfect.

Thanks buddy... are you still running those WE shocks? I'm thinking of pulling the trigger on those, but wanted to make sure they are worth it.

 

[joeymt33]

I've still got one more day to do some tests and then I'll make an official review.

I'll probably know a lot more after going back to stock.

that doesn't sound like they make the difference that I'm hoping for... I would have thought there would be no doubt... night and day kind of thing...

 

[joeymt33]

Looks like fox will have some soon and you may be able to get the Honda OEM. Then there's walker evans and elka. It's about time we had some choices here.

I got to see the Elka's but didn't get to pilot Snuffnwhiskey's vehicle with them. I hope to soon so I can see how they perform.

didn't you run the walker evans on your ride for a while? should I hold off on those? I guess I can wait for fox, but dang... I'm ready to smooth this ride out!

 

[PioneerPete]

I was planning to get the walker evans front and rears, but wanted some confirmation that I wouldn't be disappointed after spending $2k...

I'm still running them and they are awesome. I'm only using the fronts right now.

Btw, sway bar removal is great for the low speeds we usually ride. It's easy and helps smooth it out some. Leave the bar and remove the links also you can easily hook it back up.

cool, thanks for the info... I really want to be able to run higher speeds without feeling like I'm rattling the screws out of everything. I'm hoping the walkers on all four corners will get me there! if I'm still not satisfied, I guess it'll be time to unhook the sway bar.

 

[PioneerPete]

I might have to see if santa can afford some walker evans aluminum beadlocks too... the 14x7 wheels from walker only weight 17lbs each... any idea how much a 14x7 alloy msa beadlocker weighs?

 

[joeymt33]

Consider just the front shocks and leave the rear shocks alone with the sway bar removed. It's pretty damn good.

You should unhook the swaybar before getting the shocks, just to see the difference they make alone. Only takes couple mins to hook them back up if you don't like it. I love how mine rides without it. Little more body rock at times but I totally expected that.

I may get around to that, but I do a fair amount of road riding with my family on board, so I'm concerned about higher speed handling. and you know there are no straight roads around here!

 

[Delton]

Mine handles the sharp curves on my road same as it did before. Granted I'm not loaded down with family like yours. Is yours lifted?( Can't remember). I think the HL kit is one reason mine is still stable on those curves

 

[PioneerPete]

No lift for me... @drfubar says lifts are for cheaters, and I'm inclined to agree... (=

Mine isn't "lifted" either but the Fox shocks did lift it up 3 inches or so. Not sure if the 1000 will be the same as the 700 but mine feels more stable with the aftermarket shocks and no sway bar. I'm making that comparison with stock shocks and a sway bar.

Yeah well his opinion and a buck 99 will get ya a cup of coffee at Waffle House too.

I'm being misquoted Mr. Pete.
My quote was, "I hate adding lift to a rig that already has good clearance. (It's more challenging in stock form)". You may have heard "lifts are for cheaters".

 

[Delton]

I'll be the first to admit I see no real benefit to the increased clearance. I smashed the crap out of my skid this weekend. The real advantage is the improved ride quality. My thinking is the plates securing the 2 shock mounts together up front is what's helping. Wouldn't be hard at all to fab up those supports minus the lift. I know I could tell the difference with the strut tower braces on my old SRT4. Same principle. Ties them together but still leaves each corner independent as far as suspension goes.
