WRs are some sweet kit, that's for sure! Just look at them!

Funny that you guys like the WR's so much.. I've had terrible luck with them falling apart, even when assembled with Loctite. Mainly to two little 3/4mm screws near the pedal arm pivots.
They bend up really easy, both if something in the truck pushes against them, but they especially dont crash well at all.
They also have a 40mm lift (?) over stock, which is a tad high for me personally.

Hopefully sLohmeyer will be able to produce TCM copies soon, which have been the best I've used so far.

I second what Duh_ave said. A bit too high, and they don't seem to crash well :cry: other than that they are great ;)

If you decide to sell the cans, email mail me.

Sorry Dale, I think I am going to keep the cans. I think if I repack them, they will quiet down a tad.

What rearsets should I get? I really need to get my heel off of the damn pipes!

sLohmeyer is going to try and make some TCM copies one of these days. They're real nice. I still hit my right heel on the exhaust with them, but they are nice to ride on
