THANKS

Well its been 2 months and so far I have just replaced front struts,front brakes due to wobbling while braking. Some idiot didn't use brake clips( WOW). Trying some 19" rims I had in storage, especially since the 17" looked tiny. Didn't buy new tires yet. Not sure what size to run, I will be dropping her . Would appreciate some suggestions. So right now I have some small 225/30/19 on the front and 245/45/19 on the rear. Doesnt look good, but the bent tiny 17s were worse. This weekend will be hubcentric rings,Dazien bushings.

Yes it was. They wanted $9995, but with bad tires, broken left strut, needing brakes and steering bushings, plus being on the lot for about 3months $7600 cash out the door sounded good to them
