I’m thinking about getting a quick release hub, but I’m not quite familiar with them. Couple questions…

1. Are these quick release hub including the hub adapter that attach to the car? Or do I need a hub adapter plus a quick release?

2. What’s the difference between different brands? Or which brands would you guys recommend?

3. Also, do they have the mechanism to cancel the signal after the turn?

4. What about the horn connection?

Ok, there are quite a few different brands of QR’s

Ball bearing units suck, they have loads of play and can be pulled oof the hub without too much force.

There are other brands that have a mechanical lock, MR200 has one, I’ve not taken a good look at it but it’s thin and has some rediculously complicated mechanism in it.

I’ve got a Tekniq QR, which happens to be the only “street legal” unit as it locks with a key and cannot be removed without it, thus no come off while drivey = crash (like some red and black drift car I know of at some big event that hit a wall while the driver was waving the wheel out the window on a straight away)

The tekniq unit expect to spend about $200 for it, and less for the others. But as with all things, and I say this with great contempt and disdane for most 240 owners… You Get Exactly What You Pay For (in quality of product, unless you get ripped off but that’s your own damn fault if you do)

What makes this hub street legal? Is it SAE approved or something? If I get pulled over by a cop, he’ll probably say its not legal no matter what you put on there anyway.

So what type is the Megan Racing or the NRG that people are selling on the forums?

I have the NRG short QR. It is good because it keeps close to stock position. It is bad because it has some play in it.

i got a megan racing unit (ball bearing) and have no problems so far. holds on sturdy, no play, but now i am all paranoid if u guys say ball bearing ones fly off? never heard of that, but i’m not doubting you.

i got an HKB hub, and i didnt get the signal cancel working, but it doesnt bug me. the horn connection is easy to do, but it all depends on what steering wheel u get, and the horn it comes with, but really easy to wire, lots of write ups online on how to do it.

the nismo hub lets u keep the signal cancel if u can find one, and its real purtee.
