Live on our site! Another drop from the KDM Tuners team. As we push these cars to the limit chasing FWD track records, we find the fail points, the weak points, and the areas where there’s lap time left on the table. The rear trailing arm is one of those areas.

The OEM trailing arm is a one-piece stamped steel part, built with a ton of flex by design — that flex gives the average driver comfort and a bit of predictability on the street. On track, those same traits work against you. Under load, the flex lets your toe and camber move around depending on how the car is positioned and how hard it’s being pushed. When you’ve spent real time dialing in your alignment, having toe and camber constantly shifting mid-corner is the last thing you want.

That’s where our Track Pro Trailing Arms come in. Designed in CAD and built from 4130 chromoly, these arms are engineered for almost zero twist under load. After several revisions and a lot of track testing, we landed on a design that gives the driver noticeably more feedback from the rear of the car — and in some cases dropped our lap times by half a second. That might not sound like much, but when you’re hunting fractions of a second, it’s a huge deal.

What a rough weekend this. Plauged with issues from the moment we arrived until the moment we got home 3000 miles away. We had a Harmonic balancer failure which was not repairable. From practice on Thursday until the shoot out we got only 4 full laps in. Two laps to make the shoot out and two in the shopt out. During the shopt out we had no choice but to run with out an alternator belt and prayed to the God's we would have enough battery. Lap one in the shoot out we broke the track record. Lap 2 we past pur competitor in front of us which was wild to see in a shoot put format!

The never give up California boy attitudes and willingness to think way outside the box awarded us with yet another Fwd Street class track record and an overall 3rd beating out all but one AWD out of 14 registered. GingerMan Raceway #𝗚𝗥𝗜𝗗𝗟𝗜𝗙𝗘 Midwest fest mission completed ✔️

Hey All,
Daily update here. Lots of things are changing around here as we grow. Ill try to give end of day updates as we work through stuff.

For today we started our new implementation of our live inventory system. As you are aware the last 13 years we have not been able to show live inventory. In our expansion we are attempting to house all our popular items. So now on the product pages you will not just see "Instock" rather you will see how many we have in live time. This is an effort to be transparent with what we actually have to ship. If not is stock it will now say not in stock. This doesn't mean you cant order it. I just means its in some state of manufacturing or transit lead times. In these cases if we are out everyone else is out as most vendors in our space only drop ship items.

In addtion to this our Msrp Pricing will also be live. Meaning the prices will always be accurate and the lowest prices gauranteed. I can say this as its all tied to each manufactures actuall price stucture. If you find it lower that means that company is either out of business or in violation of Map policys. Both to be aware of before you find your self ripped off.

Now some items will be tough for us to integrate with such as Forge Motorsport, Adro usa, and our custom items such as traum pistons that we make to order. We will do our best to work with these vendors to create integrations moving forward.

Next steps we will revamp the sight a bit to make searching and browsing through categories a seemless experience both on your desk top and Mobile devises.

Last, we are pulling in about 25k Parts in the next 3 weeks for the current platform offerings. After this we will then start building out near 400k products across multiple platforms!

This will all make the experience better for you as we try to keep prices low, shipping fast, and remaining your #1 Hyundai and Kia Specialist!

Carry on.

Packing up orders of which are a ton of HKS Spark plugs. We have been using HKS for 13 years in all our cars. Yes they cost more and yes they are made for HKS by NGK. However they are not standard NGK as i see some mention. They are a white labeled plug built to HKS specs that cant be copied or sold by NGK to the public directly.

I see a ton of posts these days discrediting HKS plugs do to price. A few things that have changed in the past 4 months and ironically the same time period the posts started to appear. HKS will not sell direct to Vendors unless you are invited to become a Master Dealer which requires certain dollar amount a year in sales of their products. This process requires your current Distribution ours being Turn 14 Distribution to petition for you to be considered. This process takes several years to accomplish and is meant to reward shops with long standing relationships and good names in the industry as Master Dealers for HKS.

If you don't have this status, the Distributors will no long drop ship or sell single plugs. Because of this vendors must buy them in packs of 10 at a minimum. To have sets of 4 you need 2 packs to make even sets. This requires vendors to stock $1000's of dollars in plugs in order to send you a set of plugs. Most vendors are small garage based and housing $1000 in plugs to make $2 a plug doesn't make sense. If we didn't sell 100's a month it wouldn't make sense for us either. This forces Vendors to try and get you all to not buy HKS as its tough to get and they want you money. Don't be fooled by this... use what you want its your car. But be very careful which hype train you jump on. Fail plugs can cause major issues and damage certainly on a tuned car.

My point is this. Be careful what you read on the internet as fact. Will other plugs work yes, but i can tell you after 13 year plus in these cars HKS is the best option and fail the least. We have used every plug possible over the years and all failed including HKS. Hks fails less.. Fun fact we have ran 2 race season on one set of plugs. No other plug can do this. Period.

This is my PSA for the day.. YOu all enjoy you week and thank you for being a valued customer and fan of KDM tuners!
