Also if you only paid $70 for coils why have you not had them fixed? you've had those stupid things for like a year now too.
These 2 things

Haven't had them for a year. Replaced one lower mount (130) right when I got them. Now they need another lower mount and shock ($300-315 shipped)

So your saying unmounted tires off eaps. Then mount summers. That's $60 bucks. Then unmounted and put on new wheels. Another $60. And then mount tires on raps again for another $60. Tell me how that makes sense?

Wheels will be in USA on the 14-15 this month if customs doesn't hold container.

1) so you're at $500 for great suspension?........whats the issue? also the other $300 shock is less than you spent on the wheels you haven't got to have.

2) I'm saying A. Get better friends/hookups and then B. yes do that. I know of at least 3 places here in GR that will mount/balance tires for me for Free-$20 depending how much of a rush I'm in and how busy they are.

3) You've been saying that every month since you ordered them.

Was planning on going if I could find a car to drive... and then remembered I have to go to church/brunch with my Momma because her Birthday and she wants me to real bad... so unfortunately I'm out. But if your racing you get your ass down here the whole weekend or I will cut you
