They are giving you a deal so you have recourse if something goes wrong!

VEX is good though.

Orrin's Hoosiers are 285's... the ASP set up you want is 315's though. Should probably rocket the bunny while you are at it.

I mean wrong with the install, if I screw up installing it I can only blame myself, whereas if they install it I don't have to worry.

That and ive never done a S/C install before and I was totally lost troubleshooting my S/C Miata...

I got stuck in my alleyway on Monday. Granted it was a skating rink and I am still on stock tires.
Tow hooks came handy. Lol. Not a very pleasant experience.

Apparently, the snow melted and refroze in the alleyway. My dad had shoveled snow to make a small snowbank on my end. Didn't check anything till I hit it. Braked midway to take a look at what i hit (bad idea ).

The snowbank + the slight grade + the 2" ice + BRZ + Stock tires = Ice burnouts

After a few snarky comments from my dad about RWD cars, i pulled out my tow hook backed my Spectra up and pulled it in. Drove the Spectra for 2 days.

^ the reason I didn't show up for the Tuesdays meet (which i was planning to).

Photos you see is whit a lot of the snow shoveled and asphalt is actually 2 " of ice.

I still haven't made a decision about winter driving my car. 2" diameter rock came off a truck in front of me on Wednesday and totally destroyed my windshield. Sad... and makes me want to hide the car in the garage all winter.

Tell me those 15" Speedlines fit though... and I might be motivated to find another set... and run some skinny Dmack's...

Haha yeah. I have one of those and have had rocks bouncing on the roof too. Stopped going on deerfoot for a month.
I hate those trucks with baked in mud and gravel that shakes loose at highway speeds.

And yeah remember winter is truck season so be prepared to be blinded by idiots pulling up behind so that they get a nicely lit view of the interior.
