Stay Cool and Quiet with LizardSkin Sound Control and Ceramic Thermal Insulation Coatings
Nobody likes riding in a noisy, rattly, hot vehicle. Fortunately, you can literally insulate your car and ride in quiet and comfort with LizardSkin Sound Control Insulation and Ceramic Thermal Insulation Coatings. Unlike mat-style insulation, the high-solids acrylic coatings are easy to apply to irregular surfaces and create a tough, seamless barrier on exposed metal.
Use them together for the ultimate in noise and heat insulation. LizardSkin recommends applying Sound Control Insulation first, then the Ceramic Thermal Insulation on top of it. When you’re done, just clean up the residue with soap and water.

Correct Your Speedometer for Bigger Tires with a Hypertech Inline Speedometer Calibrator Module
Some trucks and SUVs have computers that don’t recalibrate the speedometer and odometer if you add larger (or smaller) tires or change axle gear ratios. The computer calculates vehicle speed based on the diameter of the stock tires. If you’ve changed tire size or the rear gear ratio, the vehicle’s computer doesn’t know how fast your vehicle is going. That means the speedometer readings will not be accurate.

Get Some Serious Grip with Vitour Tempesta P1 Tires
You folks that do autocross, time attack/time trial, and road course competition sure are blessed when it comes to tires. Thanks to sanctioning bodies mandating tires with a 200 minimum treadwear rating in classes for street-legal cars, tire manufacturers are falling all over themselves trying to make the stickiest 200TW tire in the entire world.
If you’re new to this kind of competition, a 200TW tire is essentially a street-legal, soft-compound tire with a high speed rating, usually W (168 MPH) or Y (186 MPH). The tire is designed to provide high levels of grip with higher tread life than a race-spec ‘R-Comp’ DOT tire. In other words, you can drive to the track, race, and drive home on the same set of tires.

Create a Bulletproof Custom Suspension with FK Rod Ends
Nobody serious about performance would think about building a custom suspension with OEM-style rubber bushings. That’s because stock bushings are prone to excessive flex that causes extreme body roll and reduces tire contact with the ground. They also degrade over time, becoming softer and less effective at isolating vibrations and flex the older they get. What’s a builder to do? Easy—use FK Rod Ends.
FK Rod Ends are considerably better than ordinary bushings for performance vehicles—even the solid style ones. They’re stronger, deliver smoother articulation and movement with zero deflection, maintain precise alignment for improved control and handling, and offer a large range of adjustment. They’re simply a win-win-win for all forms of high-performance street vehicles, racing, rock crawling, and other motorsports activities.
Summit Racing carries FK Rod Ends in several materials and styles ranging from mild steel to alloy steel, chromoly steel, stainless steel, and even lightweight aluminum. Many FK Rod Ends are available with self-lubricating PTFE liners that increase load carrying capabilities as well as significantly reduce wear. PTFE liners also eliminate the need for messy grease fittings that attract dirt and weaken the rod end—plus no more worries about grease dripping onto the ground or getting on your arms/clothing when working on your car.
Some of the FK Rod Ends and components available at Summit Racing include:
