T3h_clap endorses Rotas.

You need lighter wheels clapper, your cast Gram Lights aren't cutting it.

corner balanced and aligned.

did i miss something?

the scales were a friend of a friends so it didn't cost us anything to do it.

and my friend has a shop so for the small fee of slapping on a Wales Garage banner for all events he and I align my car often

I was waiting on the following before i corner balanced the new suspension.
1.) scales to become available
2.) find the appropriate rear ride height to keep my fender off the tires
3.) finish school for the semester

finally everything came in align and right in time too, i've got the biggest event of the year coming up in 2 weeks.

winner of the event gets an all expense paid trip to compete in a Prosolo style National Subaru Run Off in Factory prepped 2008 STi's!!

Fixed your statement nan

I agree on the gramLights not cutting it, don't worry now that we've got the suspension sorted out one of the things on the list is new street wheels.

and since i'm running the CCWs for autox I wont get **** for having street wheels that are wider than my race wheels anymore

i'll probably just order from the same company when i order up the wheels for russell t3h pirate (abbar's yaris).
