Again, hate to burst your bubble, but those gauges are junk...they're just there for the look. Same goes for the pro-sport ones, they're more looks than anything. Stewart Warner's are really good, I personally like Omori myself.

Your wrong the reason i havent had my thread answer SOON because look at the time i posted it , and how do you know there junk because of the price?or have you tested it out before?

If you're after asthetics, pay more. If you're after data, spend less.

In my opinion.
Defi gauges, although expensive, are good gauges.

Gauges are generally used to alert a driver of an issue, (once your car is tuned, you'll really only use your gauge to alert you of an issue), rarely will you have time to focus on your gauge while driving hard (except on the straights), the importance of gauge accuracy (vs. consistency) really depends on usage. A few things to consider:

(1) Do you like the look of the gauge (who cares what others think) ?
(2) Do the gauges you are considering offer the proper range (I believe oil pressure gauge should read more than 100 psi for the Evo)?
(3) Are the gauges reliable and consistent?
(4) Will your car be logged and tuned by a professional? Once tuned, what do you want your gauges to tell you?

There are a lot of people that drive around with poorly tuned cars and very expensive gauges. I feel it is more important to spend money on go fast bits (ie. a good tune, great parts, etc.) than show parts. I hope this helps answer your original question....

You are right, there are tons of people who are here that has the power to say so, and guess what YOU don't have any idea who those people are.

^^^That statement right there says it all already. Why bother asking people what they think when you don't want to fork out the money to buy the proven products.

Let me stop now to save myself the headache I got from your last thread.

Whats the point of having gauges if they are inaccurate? You could "waste" $400 on gauges that work, or you could really waste $100 on needle moving dash lights. Your call.

Third from the top

You need to relocate the radio though though.
