What rpm are the roller washers rated. Im trying to decide between the 1.7 washers and the 1.8washers. I heard the 1.7s are smaller and can spin faster than the 1.8s

Don't even bother with roller washers. They are a waste of your money. If you're looking for better performance, go with a ported and polished washer. Much cheaper and it bolts right up.

Yeah, but don't they take power from the washer to work? Isn't that counter-productive?

We need more washer pics. Everyone post up your washers! Don't quote pics!!

Actually, no.. These are new guages that have a nice lil' solar panel on the back on the pod.. Completely self contained units leaving the washer to provide maximum power production..

I saw these last night.. New suspension washers.. Bye Bye Koni's - helllllo WASHER!

Are you talking about a 3/4 race washer? My uncle had one of those in his Nova...he whooped the snot out of everyone with that setup. It would chirp the tires just idling at a stoplight...

pfft! yea right.

everyone knows square washers are for drag racing only. they make your car handle like crap.

im going to use solid round washers. because thats what all the autocross and road race guys use.
it doesnt matter that i only drive the car on sunny days to and from shows/events... and it doesnt matter that i take advantage of my round washers.

im better because i have round washers, while you're a total square.. i mean, a total drag washer car.. what fun is that?

Get the Strano High Performance Megamotorsports Omega Beta flat washers and they are the best ones ever because I have them on my car and have no complaints.

I also noticed they have less twisting and flex than stock washers. I would always feel this non-solid feeling with the stock washers.

I also don't recommend these if you are not into autoxing. If you aren't into autoxing, you should get the crappiest washer you can find

Hahaha. I dont speak English very well, but I figured that after start reading the second page..

Now I am wondering if we can Import washers to Mexico, it would be a geat bussines selling them on www.mercadolibre.com.mx

Are the washers made in china? We have to pay more taxes if they came from there.
