I find it funny you guys have to put your cars away for winter where here we play year round LOL. Winter gets better for us.

We always want more and more power, but R compounds will fix your issue just like Taylor.

His Toyo R888's do great and I run NTO1's and love them. Traction is much an issue then.

Not the greatest set up by any means but beat him down on the price that I can't really turn down so I think I'm going to pick them up for next year.

I'm trying to figure out the easiest and cheapest way to run it up here next year lol. Otherwise I'm buying a proper meth injection set up with fail safe. But that's not as much fun lol

Well I picked up some Megan coil overs locally for an absolute steal. Guy was hurting for cash haha. I know they are on the low end of the scale of coil overs but hopefully they work alright. Gimme some traction is mainly what I'm after. Car was squatting so hard with the progressive lowering springs I'm rolling.

I take no responsibility for any decision making that has ever influenced anything you have ever done to your car...

I brought em to work the other day. The rear shocks, no problem. The front struts were soooo stuck! It wasn't easy but I got em completely loose with lots of waterproof grease and just working them back and forth a bunch of times. Fak I can't wait to throw these on and get some moar low and better traction haha.
