underdrives pulleys
are underdrive pulleys a good idea for a daily driver? my car already doesn't seem to hold a charge that great at idle. not bad but not as strong as when cruising. thanks guys

RE: underdrives pulleys
Yeah, they are a decent bang for the buck mod. YOu can get a 2 piece setup from March Pullies that keeps the factory alternator pulley. You can even get an overdrive alt pulley if you are really worried about charging issues.

RE: underdrives pulleys
i just installed mine last weekend (3-piece), and i noticed a difference. it revs up faster and seemed to spin the tires a little easier. definitely a worthwhile upgrade. they're easy to install, but if you dont have an impact wrench you'll need to find somebody who has one to take your alt. nut off for you.

Actually, by useing your stock alt. pulley with the underdrives you will charge a little more.

Buy the three piece. This way the overdrive alt. pulley helps your charging
