LOL!

See?

I told you they were dirty, didn't I?

I reckon there could be a good 0.3 grams of brake dust. Why do you think I mentioned it? :eyebulge:

Anthony 10-03-2013 02:35 AM

Well actually, they were -.3g off. So your brake pads are apparently made of anti-matter. If that's not high performance, I don't know what is.

From your post:

Lug nuts (x5)
0.590lbs | 267.6g - Muteki SR48 (Source)
0.440lbs | 199.5g - Muteki SR35 (Source)
0.410lbs | 185.9g - Gorilla Chrome Tuner (Source)
0.275lbs | 124.7g - OEM (Source) (Additional Source)
0.250lbs | 113.3g - Rays Engineering (Source)
0.250lbs | 113.3g - VMS Racing (Source)
0.202lbs | 092.0g - CSG aluminum (Source)
0.144lbs | 065.3g - Gorilla forged aluminum (Source)


124.7 g + 0.3 g brake dust = 125 g

Is it hot in that tent in the accursed desert? :D

Anthony 10-03-2013 02:53 AM

Ugh. Yes, I guess it is. Good catch. Well still, anti-matter brake pads are still pretty fancy.

I'm sorry, Anthony. I didn't mean it to be at your expense. I'm just being silly, playing along with you; it's all in good-natured fun. ;)

Anti-matter brake pads sound cool! Have you tried them?

Anthony 10-03-2013 03:04 AM

Oh I wasn't offended at all. I was just saying "ugh" at my carelessness. It's all good.

Haha and no, no experience yet.

Captain Snooze 10-03-2013 06:14 AM

But wouldn't there be a huge release of energy when the anti-matter brake pads came into contact with the disc? Oh wait, I forgot about the grooves in the discs to vent the plasma.

Anthony 10-03-2013 06:43 AM

Yeah, man. Regenerative braking to the extreme.

Also, you can get the forged gorillas for about $100

This thread is awesome. So just a question. You can get the gorilla lugs in blue from amazon, [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Gorilla-Automotive-44028BL-20-Thread-Aluminum/dp/B00SF8FNNS/ref=sr_1_23?srs=2529503011&ie=UTF8&qid=1444859778& sr=8-23&keywords=forged+aluminum"]in open[/ame] [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Gorilla-Automotive-44128BL-20-Thread-Aluminum/dp/B00SF8FFWC/ref=sr_1_20?srs=2529503011&ie=UTF8&qid=1444859778& sr=8-20&keywords=forged+aluminum"]and closed[/ame] variety. Is their any reason to get one over the other? Should I get the closed because they are going to see snow and all that crap, or does it not matter at all.

We have some ultra heavy duty lug nuts made from chromoly steel coming in for the guys who want to absolutely thrash their lug nuts to hell. They are 0.11lbs (49.9 grams) each. A sample of lug nuts were salt fog/environmentally tested to test the durability of the rust-resistant coating as well with certificate. :)

Are these the lightweight ones or the heavy duty ones?https://www.counterspacegarage.com/c...ugnuts-m12x125
If they are not the lightweight ones, can you share the correct link, please?

Thanks, Andrei
