Well, 21mm of spacer doesnt work with -2deg of camber...lets me know that each degree of camber is about 5mm of clearance though.

Once again, i was making my FWD car throw smoke off the back wheels going through turns

discount tire has an ebay account and they sell tires online. After shipping and mounting them locally at their stores, I save about 20-30 per tire.

Yea they are...My Toyos on the VOlks are showing some camber wear, and still have the slices in them from when they rubbed on the front tabs before rolling.

My next will deff be a 225 instead of a 235 like i have now, probably just get some Federal SS's again.

On a 8.5in wide wheel with a -39 offset...No

On a 8.5in wide wheel spaced out to -29offset...Yes

lol

Also, with a 225 in the rear, i can go back to the -.5 to -1 degree camber mark in the rear so i have no worries of camber wear

haha have fun with homework.. i gotta deal with bodywork..


i spotted a van fully wrapped in vinyl pulling into alexia's rear parking today

so i stopped by about 30mins ago and found out they are doing a wrapping business on the side now. its called "alexia's wraps." they close at 5pm so i peeked through the window and they seemed to wrap anything from skate/snowboard to vehicles. gonna have to stop by tomorrow for some estimates.

i tinted all my 3 previous cars at alexia except the current tl, so its been a while that i visited alexia. seems like all new people are working now. anyways, stopped by today and got a quote for 225 for blacking out the roof.

also thanx to you, i ordered some tires through discount tire's ebay store. only 285 for 4 tires of yokohama avid trz its even cheaper than tire rack after the shipping

yea Ive been buying my tires from them for a while and just taking it in and installing it, saves a bundle. Thats a pretty cheap price for 4 tires, what size are those?

What do you think about this? comptech strut bar for 300 shipped? I want it but not really sure if 300 shipped is a good deal for this.
