$400 well spent
The ability to launch the car harder (bigger tires) made up for the loss in the straight line (if there even was any). The only real difference I felt was tire/body roll nd turn in time .... these were all remedied by Hotchkis from titanmotorsports.com, I installed the sways (easy) and let Chad do the springs(air tools help).
Wanna buy a Vortech ? .... no worries about cashiers checks, etc etc
I was originally really excited about it .... but I don't think it will be enough ... I am thinking bigger and better ... so I may be selling it for the right price.

I just meant a loss in performance in regards to the offsets...not the weight or anything like that....those things are pretty obvious...I just don't know anything about offsets...

don't know what else to say; I got owned indeed. So I'm assuming ya'll be there tonight....not sure if I'll make it. Besides, no real point in doing 0-60 runs in the rain, unless you're f*cking crazy..........don't know anyone like that

I'll do some 0-60 in the rain! I won't go very fast but I'll make it to 60. So is any going to be @ K-mart/Fusion tonight? I've got to drop my nephew off in Lakeside, so I'll be there.
Later,

The fact that you know where Ricky Martin lives scares me!
Rob .... you have no idea what you sense until I get a ride in the car ....
Update .... not too much luck on the PR girls lately .... everyone at the beach during the week seems to be 12 and under, not cool in my book

I think if you at least look like 12, then it's cool.....j/k
The legal age in England is 16......food for thought....
