What is it your time of the month? If you don't have an answer for a car question since I'm on a car forum. Then get off the thread. Don't want your hormonal self saying ignorant replies. Let one of the 50 base autos answer the question.

Relax man. I don't think he was trying to be a dick. Pretty sure he more or less meant that there's not a ton of interest in lowered base autos, so companies don't have a fix high on their priority list. Thus the "it is what it is".

They're the same trans for the LAP so I'd assume it'd be the same. Luckily I have the F23 trans on my LAP and I'm putting on YYZ's this Tuesday.

Yea he was. If wasn't trying to be one. He would of said nothing or what you said. But I guess he doesn't understand how to talk respectively. When I search for answers. I don't expect dumb comments from a grown man.

How much lower are they from eibach? Nice. I don't think could spend too much money on my Balt. Even though I don't even have the money to do anything.

How do you measure to tell the difference. There's a car lot in front of me that has a base Balt. I could measure both.

That's of road tires ?????
