wow... I was buying Tanabe, but now im kinda hesitated to get it... some ppl have the problems but some dont... is it a matter of road condition ppl drive on? or chance issue.... for those having the prob, is it rainy or snowy there?

 

I'm in the same boat as you, was almost sure of getting the tanabe, but having doubts since our winter months here isnt the nicest with all the rain and road salt. I wonder if HKS has the same issues, maybe stick with the dealer installed one?

 

Well I live on a 30 mile long Island in the middle of the Pacific where it rains all the time. i scratched my Jeep and it started to rust in 3 days Ill let you know what happens

 

any updates?

 

No rust on mine yet..

 

Expected delivery time for my Tanabe is April 17th. I am concerned, because of all the salt and sand on the roads during winter months in Ontario. Hopefully this does not become an issue....will have to wait and see. Anyone know of anything that you could condition the SS with to act as a deterrent to this type of thing. A local tire/wheel business owner where I live told me recently that he rubs Vaseline on his truck wheels once a week in the winter, has done this for years and never had a problem with corrosion.
