Well...I need to get my Tokico struts installed, and before that decide if I want to get some Tein S-Techs to replace my Eibach Prokit. Then I need to install my Hotchkis sways that are sitting next to my struts and unpainted Mopar Lip Kit. I plan on getting some fiberglass S-Style eyelids and getting the Mopar Lip Kit painted and mounted this summer. After all that is said and done, hopefully, I'll have some extra money to finally order my custom 60mm throttle body and maybe get some P&P work done on the cylinder head (if the money is there). I'm moving into a new apartment in a few weeks, so who knows if i'll have any money at all over the summer...then of course i'll be working 40+ hours a week, on top of taking some summer classes. Should be a very busy summer indeed, but also a very good one!

Oh, and I need new tires, the Toyo Proxes 4's have about 33k miles on them and there only supposed to be good for around 25k-30k . So I kinda need those replaced...lol. I'm going to need to look at my brakes too, I feel a little brake fade coming on...they only have 30k miles on the pads and rotors, but I always change them both at the same time anyways. Why not right?

Its a little more expensive when you have four-wheel disc brakes, but I obviously dont mind the cost since I change them all every 30k anyways. lol. My dad used to look at me like I was crazy, but i cant think of anything better to spend your money on then the system that makes your car stop correctly.

my dad told me i was stupid if i was to change on and not the other. his theory is if you do one, you do them all. Thats how i got my kumhos. one blown tire..he went and replaced them all.doesnt seem like a big deal, but i live by alot of lazy asses who look at me weird and they say "why didnt you just get one"..lol

Yeah I blew out one of my Proxes like the day after I got them, so I only replaced the one because they cost $140 each (and they only had about 100 miles on them)...but if they would have had more miles on them I would have just bought four new tires. I dont see the point in having mismatched tires...or brakes. I mean, you dont just change three spark plugs do you? lol.
