A pile of rubber arrived at my house today.





And your first reaction is probably "Oooh yay get em mounted get em mounted"








Buuuuut these are still sitting in my messy room waiting to be painted.



Yeah i really need to get my room cleaned. Oops.

Wish granted











They are most certainly not perfect, but I must say not bad for a 17 year old. If all goes well, tires are getting mounted tomorrow and hopefully I will get all 4 on. Now this thing needs to be quite a bit lower.

Don't rub it in

Hopefully everything else i do with this thing won't take more than a couple days. I need to cut the springs soon but the front struts are pretty bad, so i don't know if i should buy some cheap ones since I will have coilovers within a year at the most, or just leave them because cut springs on a blown strut does not sound fun.

Yussssssssss. I cant wait to see these puppies on the car. Will you be able to drop the car off the jacks once you get your wheels on or is it torn apart in someway that you cant pull out to take photo?

Id be scared to run your new tires and wheels on cut springs and blown struts. Coming from how bad my strut inserts were, at stock height it was bouncing so much i was almost tucking tire while bouncing.

Yeah if anything i'll just replace them then. But if i have to buy nicer ones i think i might as well just wait for coilovers.

Oh and i will be able to pull the car out at least. Probably drive it a little to make sure the wheels roll nice and there is nothing wrong with my suspension. Then after that we tear down the front of the engine to replace the timing belt.
