General 8G Question Thread

This turned into a very informative tire page. I've always liked Goodyear tires for the prices and tred life. Michelin is nice but just overpriced. To me it would be like buying a Lincoln truck, sure its nice but you just overpaid for an F150

You should check out dave's thread about tires and wheels. It's VERY informative, as well. I used it for my last wheel swap.

And this is why I created this thread :-)

I have seen that thread. I like how the guys focused on Good Year. Was thinking of trying out a newer line of theirs.

Would you be able to use a eclipse flywheel with a eclipse clutch on a stratus r/t transmission?

Edit: nvm found the answer

Eagle GT's are a nice bang for the buck. They make sizes for most of all the sizes 8G's use, stock and aftermarket. Most are V rated, but you can have W speed rated, still a 400 treadwear rating, AA traction and A temp ratings.

The best A/S performance tire they sell hands down is the Eagle F1 A/S tire. Y speed rating, carbon fiber reinforced sidewalls, AA traction and A temp ratings, and 450-500 treadwear rating depending on size. I had them for my Pontiac when I still had the stock chrometech wheels (225/50 R16) and the grip was stellar, no chirp even on tight turns.

I believe if you use the eclipse flywheel & clutch you have to use the eclipse transmission but i'm not 100%

I read somewhere that if you use a eclipse flywheel, use a eclipse clutch and if you use a stratus flywheel use a stratus clutch.

Use the eclipse it offers more for upgrading

speaking of clutches and flywheels, I cannot for the life of me find an OEM eclipse flywheel anywhere, I don't want an aftermarket one. Any suggestions? I plan on pairing it with an exedy OEM replacement clutch kit.
