  1. Didn't realized you were running 20's with 265s.. I bet that would suck up some gas. Also, from what you described, I think the factory airbox with the exhaust will probably yield better MPGs and restore the missing low end you were looking.
  2. I have a K&N drop in filter in my CX-9. Granted it's not the edge, but it does have a 3.7 Duratec V-6. For $50, I am very happy with the results and low end grunt is definitely noticable. BTW, it's the same filter for the Edge as well.
  3. I am looking for a local Edge owner in the area (wash/dc) who's interested in coming with me to a manufacturing/engineering firm to have our vehicles looked at closedly for possbile product development. I won't mention the name of the company but they are very reputable and top notch engineers. Currently, they have expressed interests in looking at the CX-9 and Edge.
  4. A Vortech S/C with an intercooler will do too! BTW, what size rims are those Cannon? 20 or 22?
  5. Thanks larry for the clarification and backing up my point. BBKs are not desgined for 60-0 stops. They are designed for higher speeds stops and most importantly low-fade consistent braking. I have owned a few cars with aftermarket BBKs. They are great for the track and slowing quickly from high speeds.
  6. Not necessarily true... There is a limit but in this case, it's fine as long as the master cylinder can supper the BBK.
  7. Ever consider RAYs? They are forged and lightweight.. That's what I am going with most likely... 20x10 on 275s... IMO, I love the sporty tuner look...
  8. For asthetics yes.. Most of the braking, about %80+ is all done up front.
  9. FWIW, Eibach is generally more friendly with OE struts. I have a CX-9 and the CX-9 forum(s) are lame. No one wants to mod. Hanging out here for ideas and hopefully whatever new performance parts are available for the Edge will bolt on to the CX-9 even if a little bit of modifications are required.
