this might help... i agree the center caps that come with the torque thrusts look good but they are chincy plastic.. one of mine cracked on the inside.. the running horse billet center caps are way to pricey but i said what the heck lol.

I leave mine on, and I have those same caps.
I'd gladly sell my plastic ones to anyone that wants them...

I like the horse or plain.
At the risk of a thread hijack, what sized Torque Thrust wheels are you running? I have a brand new set of 15x7's (3.75" bs) that don't seem like they are going to work up front with the Global West suspension. [

15 x 7 225 60 R 15. the fronts are close but the TCP setup is stiffer than heck so its not a problem. i get more problems with the rear than i do with the front as it is now the rear is softer than the front even with the rear konis bumped up all the way. i thought about TCP coilover in the rear but its way too pricey at over 5 grand.

RE: torque thrust D center caps
koni's still to soft on two whole turns jesus you must like a car with a very hard ride, one of the autocross guys has his on 1 turn for driving and 1.5turns for racing. I myself have mine on 1.25 turns (Rear need fitting still) and that's good for me. Can you not adjust the front shocks a little softer, than the rears i.e. back of a quater

RE: torque thrust D center caps
I really havent had a whole lof of time to play with suspension settings. I do need to adjust the front. the front is too jiggly so i was thinking loosen the compression and tighten the rebound? about a month after completing the suspension mods i decided to do the engine lol. i guess it will have to wait til spring when i can really tweak her. Those Konis aint got nothing on TCP for stiffness. right now the TCP is set midrange in both compression and rebound
do you think the tires will rub after its aligned?
they thought mine would rub and it hasnt

Billet shmillet. Go to your local metal supplier and get some 3/16" sheet aluminum and trace the pattern from the existing center cap onto it, then cut it out (take it to a fabbie if you have to) and secure them with black heat treated allen head bolts. Super cheap and it looks just like the old school trans am racers!
