we agree, not only is it done properly from an engineering standpoint....its also what makes it safest. We are only comfortable releasing products that maintain the utmost safety built into them. We feel we have accomplished that with this product.
Thanks for your order DB Tuned!

we awaiting to hear back from our engineers and cnc shop about redrilling the 5x114.3 hub/bearing to accommodate a 5x100 pattern (yes we know it has/can be done but that doesn't mean it can safely be done...when we offer a product we have to keep safety first in mind. We won't offer a compromised part). Will let you guys know what they say and if we decide to offer that as an option as well.

see image for reference of single vs. double shear in regards to a bolt (which is a good example of the product)

The tie rod area is what was in single shear on there product, which applies all the forces/loads on that extension piece and in has ability to break b/c of the forces/loads. If you look at ours its double shear, gusseted, and boxed in (its in double shear and by doing so you disburse the forces/load).

Thanks for clearing that up.

I have this image on my desktop but I was able to do a quick google search for a picture of single vs. double shear, which warranted immediate results ![Wink](https://www.i-club.com/forums/images/smilies/wink.gif)
We went to great lengths to have everything engineered properly on this kit as done improperly could result in some serious issues/injuries. This is why we have done years of testing in the most extreme environments; to ensure its safety. It really is basic understanding of what stress's, forces, opposing forces, etc... can and will do.

you bet...remember we have a 04 STi, which is (well was) 5x100, so we had to engineer all this stuff from nothing. We never got the chance, nor did we ever buy someone else's products to run and make work. We know the hurdles it has taken to make this happen. I've paid for it every step of the way

Here is a set installed on a 2009 STi.
Being that this customer already has all the hardware/bearings needed he was able to opt for the "Knuckles Only" kit.
