What's the best flat washer?
Stainless is nice, but most of the time I end up with zinc.

Any flat washer is only as good as the washer fluid that you use on it. I think that synthetic washer fluid is the way to go, but opinions differ. In general, though, when it comes to flat washers the beefier the washer the better. You just can't beat beefy parts.

I told him he should just toss those stupid washers because they're nothing but added weight anyway.

When you mount a washer, which side goes up?
One side has a small lip on it, so does that go toward the nut or the other way?
Does Firehawk #608 offer carbon fiber washers?
Do our cars need washers? I was thinking about removing all of them, since that would shave off about two pounds.

Hello, I just picked up a new washer kit from the GP going on in the tools forum. Does anybody know what are the best washers to use that also create no dust and no noise? I can't stand noisy washers. I hope that the ones I got are going to be okay. I don't want any noise. Oh, and what bolts should I use with these washers?

my sisters car is a pure street car, so i stuck to the poly washers. i heard the metal washers are too harsh.
my car is 100% performance though. thats why i got the thickest beefiest heaviest washers that i could find, and then had them powdercoated super bright look-at-me-im-a-aftermarket-part red.... if you look really carefully on the side, you can see the spohn sticker.
