I know right! total rip off.
its not like the mobility of the entire 2400+ pound vehicle relies on them......as well as the invaluable lives inside the car.......

20mm is almost 1 inch by the time you put the wheel on you will have no threads remaining to screw the nut on, you need extended studs for wheel spacers.

what bolt pattern do you want to run?

also not sure if you were talking to me or which car you wanted pictures of?
First Car: 94 chrysler town and country shaggin' waggin'
rocking sound system some blue neon interior lighting and classy silver painted trim. girls loved it.
Second Car: 89 grand am POS wouldnt go 70 unless you floored it, paid $500 sold it for $700 never looked back.
Third Car: Full Bolt-ons ford racing stage 2 cams lowered on tein springs

Fourth Car: powerworks supercharger eibach pro kit lowered

Fifth Car: crazy rally headlight setup you could see clearly for over 1 mile if the road stayed straight, dropped using fat kids and a couple cute girls:

Sixth Car: only one I didnt own long enough to take a picture of so google will work, turbo inline 5 cylinder seated 8 with a rear facing 3rd row. still wish I had that car.

Seventh car (still own and daily drive it) Jetta, not this low any more but this was last summer. this years its all race car no show car:

Eighth car: Current toy/project. only pictures I have are from the day I bought it, should have more pictures soon.

^ Started reading.. thought Benz comment woulda been in there. Was wrong

Jetta has vacuum leak.. makes annoying hissing sound around the fuel pressure regulator area. Tried plugging holes with my fingers but can't seem to find leak.. Gunna attack engine back with carb cleaner in attempts to find teh leaks after work.

Soon to have lots of freaking work my way so in the next week or so my number of posts is prolly gunna decrease significantly

SOWO pre-registration has reached over 1000 people!
today is the last day to order a SOWO '11 sweatshirt
every hotel within 100 miles is booked full.

I have heard rumors of red rider wagons on air bags designed specifically for carrying 32 packs.

nobody, repeat nobody parties like the germans.

and payton before u look at suspensions buy my seats!!!

and like u said other day u dont care about being really low and you like taking corners quickly. by eibach/team dynamic/roush/ford racing suspension that has 1.5-1.75" drop and call it a day. that suspension is really good for the price. u loose a lot of wheel gap and dont have to worry about bottoming out and can take corners quickly.

i might end up with that suspension again unless i buy that new coilover suspension set up from new sponser on here. its like $1100 but doubt il be spending much on cars by christmas, im moving out.
