New Wheels
06/23/2009 5:07 PMThey came! The guys at STS in Nazareth REALLY helped me out by doing these even though they were closing.
Bought the wheels from wheeldude and the tires from tirerack.
17×9 Rota DTP +42 shod with 245-40-17 Kumho SPT. Yes they rub a little in the back. Nothing major, cranking up stiffness on the coilover and a light massage by Ryan @ Area1320 on the fenders will solve the issue.

Spring Loaded Tires
06/13/2009 3:35 PMThis found its way inside my tire today on an onramp.
Yep, a piece of a car spring. :bigeek: So one of my tires is done. I cant seem to find anyone that carrys my type of tire in the size I have. Not that it really matters since I have a some camber wear on all the tires. Didnt even get 20k out of them. 
4 new tires? or 4 new wheels and tires? hmm
Sedan Girth
06/03/2009 5:30 AMRyan and Drake @ Area1320 put the front sedan axles, control arms and a whiteline 27mm sway bar went on along with new ball joints. Why do this you may ask? I gained 12mm worth of track and can achieve the same amount of camber up front as the sedan. No one makes wagon specific coilovers anymore and it results in a loss of camber adjustment do to the smaller track. The car is in dire need of an alignment as you can see the ridiculous amount of camber in the pictures. I expect having a wider front track than the rear will eliminate any understeer I was experiencing.
