So, I'm looking to lower my car with washers, would you recommend revalved, single adjustables, or the pricey dual adjustables to help dampen my new lowered washer stance? I hope the progressive rate washers don't make the rear sag. I just hope this is in the right forum, some of you guys are vicious about posting washers in the wrong one.

Does anyone know where I can get a washer temp guage for my interior? I think mine may be overheating. I think that jpr's may be as well.... I need to avoid breakdown.

I tried putting washers under my bolts but found they didnt fit as people say..
I tried putting my bolts through the washer like people have told me to.. it sounds easy.. but i must be doing it wrong because my washer doesnt like it..

it all becomes a wash....
NASCAR flat washers have nothing on the CART, IRL, or F1 washers... although my personal favorate washers are MOTOGP and Superbike.. but they only work when you stand them up on the side of the washer. if you lay them down flat, they dont work very well.

I spoke to my Siamese cat, and she could give a hoot. So I took a home survey, with these resutls. TV-standard washers. Stereo-upgraded DTS washers. Dishwasher - waterprooof washers. Lazyboy - fatass washers.

FYI: washers actually have a right side up and a wrong side up. The vast majority are stamped and you want the rounded ID under the head of the bolt. If you get the sharp edge from stamping facing out you can pop the head of the bolt off from the stress riser interacting with the the radius under the head. It's especially true with hardened washers.
Also Nordlock washers kick ***...

There is also Bio-Washers, the by-product of galled threads.

Does anyone have any hard research numbers on the net HP/TQ gains of various washers in respect to applied boost? I am specifically interested in the dynamic interaction between the optimum HP curve and a the torque curve in relation to specific washer diameter and their respective hole sizes.
