Shortened height, right angle valve stems?
I have seen these for motorcycles but do they have these for cars?
So i put on the Boxster calipers last night and the valve stem hits the the caliper everytime the the wheel spins. Short term solution, zip ties :-)
Any ideas?<ul><li><a href="http://www.shop.com/op/aprod-v227917-~valve+stem?search_form=1">Link</a></li></ul>

Thread Jack: How do you like ATP elim setup??
I am looking at (very soon) getting ATP elim with either GT2X or GTRS (or even upgrading to the GT2871R), and the ATP 3" cat delete. The guys who work on my car seem to think the APR stg 1 (93 octane) program will work fine with this setup. Did you run the setup with anything before installing the MICA tuning??

I had the GT2X it was okay but blew out... APR tuning WTF??
I cant say for the GTRS i havent gotten mine on the road yet, i just got the motor cranked this morning at 4am. Now i have to re-bleed my brakes. And figure out a longterm solution for the valve stems.
As far as the tuning, are you really going to dump that much money on your car and half *** the tuning? It isnt all about hardware, tuning is much more important. With the APR you are going to run lean and prolly blow your motor. There are a few different options for tuning, I choose Mika because i have basically ATP everything so i think it will work best. There is Unitronic, Revo, and always standalone. Just do some homework.

I thought the same thing about the tuning, but shop thought otherwise....
I will be sure to avoid sticking with APR, and you are saying to avoid GT2X. The only ATP stuff I will have is the elim kit and the 3" cat-delete. I will look into the other software you mentioned. Thanks for the input as well as past issues (GT2X).

Im assuming that is what the other line is that comes with the kit...
do you think the GT2871R upgrade is worthy or just stick with the GTRS, test pipe, and MICA software?? Sorry for so many questions, just trying to get a decent/safe (I realize "safe" is leaving it stcok) My mechanic is good, but it appears he may not know as much about tuning the A4 as i thought. He does mainly water cooled VW's.. and then some audi's..
