I am building a 13B NA Streetport and I've been doing some research as to what apex seals I should put in it. First off, I've decided to use 2mm seals. I've read alot of good things about Mazda and Hurley's Longlife seals. The Hurley Longlife's are alot cheaper, but I have read that they are more prone to high rpm chattering - Is this true? Which apex seal chatters less? Which one is better overall?

chattering has to do with the seal weight and spring strength. i would stick to mazda.

mazda makes pretty good seals. it's about how much you want to spend. you can also buy 6 seals with springs for $1200... lol
