WeatherTech Mats

Consensus is they are expensive for a set of two. However the family who owns the business gives back to the community kept manufacturing in Illinois instead of sending it overseas where it would be cheaper obviously.
So eat the 50$ for the US economy.

Nice..i really like the WeatherTech Floor Liners.

BTW - how did you manage to get them for $50? I see $100 online...unless you mean $50 a pop.

Screen Shots From Upcoming Video Project:

This shoot covered the baseline autox comparing how just how important the driver is to the overall speed of the car. We also discuss the vehicle in stock form and how it handles.

Time and side by side comparisons of two drivers and comparing a stock FR-S to a modified model will be included:

Hi there, I was the other FRS driver in the STX car that day. It was nice to meet you and have you guys out with us.

You said something happened to the alignment? What changed? I spun my car 20 times over that weekend so I'm wondering how far my settings are off. - Jeremy

Here is a sample video of all my spins. I still need to get my fastest runs uploaded. Waiting on the times to be uploaded still.

Depends on how nice you are on them. If you daily drive on them.. if you track them. My first set of rs3s on a FWD car back in 2011 lasted 4k miles and 120 autocross runs on a over driven heavy car.
Rs3s can be flipped on the rim about when at half life to extend the life that much more.

Last year a set of rs3s lasted for 180 autocross runs and maybe a 1k miles at most.

Ive never just dailyed them so I have no idea how they do when not being abused.

Alignment also plays a part of tire life.

Hmm, with that being the case I may need to pick an alternative...
