soo got some rubber yet?

The tires have not arrived yet hopefully they come in tomorrow or Tuesday. Currently I am researching how to protect polished aluminum wheels. I do not like polishing! I am considering spraying clear on them or if I am better off waxing them twice a year.

Yesterday between many interuptions I installed my rear springs and today I installed one front spring. Here is a quick comparison or original vs aftermarket with a higher spring rate. Currently the car is sitting about how it did before so hopefully it comes down an inch once I install a few more part along with putting some miles on it. I have a busy week but I should have the other sping and wheels/tires installed by the weekend.

Is that the Pro-Kit or Sportlines?

The springs should settle shortly and drop the car more.

I have and use the product called Wheel Wax, it does wonders, and makes cleaning brake dust off a breeze

Its a Pro-kit, 550 lb/inch in front and a progressive 112-188 lbs/inch in rear.

Yes it has been a busy week so far and that birdie was correct I picked up my tires at lunch today. I purchased Nitto 555s, 255s in front and 285s for the rear(same model front and rear Brent). Hopefully tomorrow I will be able to install the wheels/tires. I am pretty excited!
