    How are you guys screwing up your alignments so bad? I still haven't gotten an alignment on mine, the rolla or the IS300. Dropping the cars had no effect on the alignment.

    Lol.. Yeah, im pretty sure that i said i was going throu tires every six months but when recently checking my tires for my usual rotation it seems that they are lasting a lot longer than expected after getting it professionally aligned at this local shop called alignment specialties. they set my toe to compensate for camber wear pretty nicely and it rides perfectly straight when im on a flat road. id say my tires may last me 9 months.

    Finally got a chance to install my rear struts and springs yesterday! The rain wasn't stopping me this time. Also switched to my other wheels.. DZ Exklusiv 16x9.

    In the process one side done.. shows you how much the tires are stretched.

    [IMG]


    Pretty decent for springs.

    Decided to wash her later last night.

    [IMG]



    Thats all folks.. I'll take some better pics today.



    I just took this at work.. Any suggestions for better fitment on the front??? (camber kits etc.)

    [IMG]
