i was static with alot of negative camber for a month before i got the air system so most of the wear came from that first month. my toe was aligned at my ride height but it went out of spec. i flipped my rear tires today. thats why the wheel was off the car

I was thinking dammnnnnn, flippin tires every couple months.

"gotta pay to play", i know the saying. Glad to know you don't have any downtime though. Might want to look into that deal posted somewhere in the 3G section about $100 dollar rebate on four tires from discount tire direct. you may be need some spares

yeah i use nexen n3000's so they arent super expensive and it gives me the ability to flip them. ive got about a 1500 mile drive over 3 trips coming up in a week so right after that i am going to get 4 brand new tires. no point in getting new ones now right before all that driving when i can def get 1500 miles out of those

quick update guys...

the pics from the photo shoot that i had done last month are done but the write up for the blog feature is still being worked on so once thats done and its up ill post it here.

my aspec custom bumper is nearing completion so that will be on soon

i decided to hold off on wheels and get my paint done first. to settle my need for more aggressive wheels i am ordering spacers. prob 30mm or so to make my offset around -10. ill post pics of everything once its done

alright guys the spacers are getting ready to go on. also getting ready to order new tires with a more aggressive stretch and new rotors/pads from heeltoe. should have everything on and tweaked to where it needs to be by import alliance at the end of the month. ill post pics as soon as its all done.

im also working hard to have something done by import alliance that noone here knows about yet that i will hopefully "unveil" to the local azine guys at the meet

its 50/50 if it will be done by the meet
