Ive gotten some from fielding.. awesome guy and nothing can beat paying 30 bucks a tire (give or take). You blow them - and your done with them -

I really want to partake - but I cant...

did the clutch pedal adjustment today, honestly made a world of difference, it used to sit quite a bit higher than the brake pedal and now it sits maybe an 1/8" below it, and it is not always engaged, if you haven't done it, try it.

^^^ I just did the spacers between the pedal and the stop.. its easier and Ive had NO issues with it. If I ever have to go back to stock I can just take them off.. no readjusting...etc..

the clutch adjustment is just a 12mm nut and turning the rod since I didn't have to adjust cruise control. Either way, both are very easy and beneficial, driving the car feels a bit easier although I fear it might be the placebo effect setting in lol.

that is not a bad price at all for shipping.

I hope I can get some decent tires tomorrow. Nobody has a size I want in stock.

Ha ha, yes those are them.

I found someone who has 2 of those in stock and is letting them go for $380 installed and out the door.

Sorry guys, this is the only set he has.
