New Tanabe GF210 Springs for the 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata (ND)

When you think of high quality suspension products, the company Tanabe should surely come to mind. Tanabe springs are among the strongest springs available for automotive us. Their springs are created using some of the most advanced methods and machinery out there in the world today. Tanabe is one of the only manufacturers who have obtained the world quality manufacturing certification ISO9001.

The GF210 coil spring is geared toward maximum performance without compromising daily drivability. A subtle drop provides an aggressive stance, while the higher spring rates provide extraordinary handling and vehicle stability traits. Once installed, these springs provide a very noticeable gain in performance. The GF210 is well-mated with a performance shock upgrade to extract the full potential of the coil spring. However, these springs will also work with factory equipment. Sustec 210 Technology is a series of manufacturing methods developed in order to create a stronger, thinner and more lightweight spring using only high tensile steel, without adding additional elements that could affect quality, durability or affordability. The numerical value “210” stands for 2100n/m of tensile strength, which is the highest strength ever achieved in a coil spring!

Tanabe has just announced the release of their new Sustec GF210 lowering springs for the 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata (ND). They are now accepting orders for these brand-new springs; the first shipment arrives on May 23, 2016. Check out the before and after images below highlighting the incredible difference these springs make. You can also browse all Tanabe products here.

Stunning Mazda RX8 with JDM R Magic GT Wing

When the Mazda RX8 first came back out in 2004, it was a rebirth of the fan favorite RX7.  However it was lacking some style and horsepower.  As we had our hands on one for our Pepsi RX8 Dub Tour car, what could be done to these was endless in handling and power.  Ours was built so well that we actually came in the top 2 of the American Touge 2 challenge at Willow Springs raceway, rememba that!  The RX8 has still proven to be one of the best handling rear wheel drive sports cars.  JDM parts are abundant and our customer William hooked his up with this rare R Magic carbon fiber GT wing.  Thanks to Performance Specialist Alex, he also added an Auto Craft rear bumper to give the already stout rear end some more curb appeal.  Check out these pics and if you are interested in Mazda RX8 Parts, we have it all!

Fidanza Releases New Short Shifters for 2016

Fidanza has been around for a long time and known as the Flywheel and Cam Gear company.  Making some of the best lightweight flywheels in aluminum and steel, Fidanza has expanded its product offerings to now include short shifters.  The 3rd pedal cars are disappearing fast with the performance of dual clutch transmissions, but for those still clutching, a short shifter is a must in your car.  A short throw effectively decreases the amount of lever travel you have to go between gears by not reducing the height of the lever, but by elongating the lower part to the pivot point.  The distance traveled of the lever is less as the shifter is is able to move the linkage between gears with less effort up top.  Typical short shifters are made from treated steel.  Aluminum parts can be used on short shifter components, but it is not optimum for the pressure the lever is put through as you slam through the gears.  Fidanza has released short shifters for the following vehicles, all which are available from Vivid Racing!

WP Pro EX6 360 Clubsport Big Brakes Shown Off

WP Pro Brakes has some pretty amazing engineering for the big brake industry.  We recently showed off their new EX8 caliper here, but have these brand new photos of the EX6 360 clubsport kit now to share!  This is the same kit we are running on our Project Mercedes CLA45 that features the very unique carbon fiber cooling duct cover.  The kit also features the very unique saw blade style rotor which is a 2 piece floating design.  Similar to what is used in Grand Prix Street Bike racing, the saw blade rotor is extremely light weight and when combined with a race pad, gives unbeatable stopping power.  These calipers do come in standard colors or can be custom done in any finish.  Check out more of the WP Pro Big Brakes Here.

Braille Battery Did You Know and Hot Sellers

One of the most overlooked parts in your vehicles is the battery.  Better cranking amperage and lighter weight are things that can be accomplished from a Braille Battery.  The hot seller right now for the performance street & track vehicles is the GreenLite G20 (upgrade for PC680 in 4 & 6 cylinder cars) and GU1R (upgrade for PC925 up to small block V8) lithium batteries.  In addition, the Intensity I34X and I35X full-size replacement battery for something similar to an Optima but at only 11 lbs, with more power and much longer life, not to mention the performance benefits.

The lightweight AGM batteries have up to double the cranking power (pound for pound) compared to the competition, as well.  As a dedicated, performance starting battery, there is no compromise on cranking power and are the only smaller lightweight AGM batteries that are designed and warrantied for automotive street & race car use, where the others are designed for powersports (motorcycles) and NOT for automotive applications.  In many cases, use in Automotive applications voids the warranty of other small AGM batteries (most don’t know that).

Here are the key advantages of Braille lithium over lead or other “consumer grade” (low cost, low quality) lithium batteries the other sell, as the only American Made “OEM/race grade” product on the market based on the professional race series and more OEM factory race cars than all the other battery companies combined!!

Braille Lithium delivers a higher, cleaner voltage which improves the performance of every electrical component and has shown to provide:

• Quicker starting (a full volt higher than lead and less voltage drop during cranking)


• Improved engine management & data logging performance (more stable voltage)


• Less horsepower draw from the alternator due to efficient charging (5 times faster than lead),


• Lasts 3-5 times longer (especially under the harshest environments),


• Much more reliable (less than 1% failure rate)


• Significant weight savings. (up to 1/4 the weight)


• Don’t self-discharge, so if the battery is disconnected (no draw or via power disconnect switch), they can sit for over a year and still have over 13 volts to start the vehicle.

It is due to these reasons that Braille Lithium is currently being used in every Indycar & new Indy Lights car, every car in the DTM (Audi/BMW/Mercedes), SuperGT (Nissan/Honda/Lexus/Subaru) and Australian V8 Supercar (Volvo, Nissan, Mercedes, Holden, Ford) series, nearly every car in the IMSA TUDOR series (factory Corvettes, Vipers, Ferrari, Porsche, BMW, Ford, Mazda, etc.), Formula 1 and top teams in NASCAR, drag racing, Pro 2 & 4 off-road trucks, Rally (all Olsbergs cars) and many more.

Now you are dialed in on why and what a Braille Battery can do for you.  Shop all Braille Battery Products Here.
