Yes,those are EM1 SI rims.Don't get rid of them when you get new rims Kenny.Keep them as spares and buff them up.

Re: Shoot, Bored :)
u know what my advise is kenny?
save up, and get some coilovers.
cuz this is whats gonna happen:
u spend time/$ installing S techs.
oem struts blow out.
spend $ on aftermarket strut, plus time/$ reinstalling them.
then sooner or later ur not gonna be happy with the ride height because u know it could be a little lower here or a little more even there....
(because u will have a bigger wheel/fender gap in front than in back...thats just the nature of springs)
or..if u decide to get subs, they will "sag" ur rear and then ur car's gonna look all getto and off balanced
then you come to ur sense and get coilovers...and spend more money + time re-reinstalling them.
i went through all those stages and wished someone told me from the beginning and that i listened to them.

post #8. see what i mean?
plus, from my expierence, OE struts will be pretty bouncy and u dont gain too much handling improvements...
when i went from stock to koni yellow + ground control, it was like driving a totally different car. and i drove on stock suspension for about a year and i couldnt believe how much of a difference it was.

Well yes,but garages aren't insulated.So it's just a few degrees warmer than outside.But still colder than inside.Yeah,I don't know where I'm going with this,but basically,garages are cold at night.What tires you running?Can't make out the name.

Re: Shoot, Bored :)
Lol, not my garage, the garage is always the hottest place of the house, about 10 degrees warmer than our house, and 20+ more than outside
That's only because my house is recent, built 4 years ago
But they are Kelly Navigator KS Gold's
Cross tread,
Noisy on the highway....but MAN do they STICK to the road
I needa tire shine them again soon

Damn.My room is next to the garage and it freezes my *** off at night.I don't get the garage.My mom's BMW and random crap fill the garage.Hmm,never heard of the tires,but if they have grip,that's all that matters I guess.

I don't know what shitty weather you are talking about. There isn't even in snow on the ground in those pictures so you have it better off than 2/3s of the country right now.
What are your plans for suspension since there is a lot of talk in this thread?

I know it's not cold enough to snow outside.But inside my house,it's gotta be in the 30's.For some reason,my house is naturally colder than outside.Comes in handy in the summer,but is **** in the winter.

I wish someone made a stock height spring replacement with a higher spring rate. I'd be all over those.
As for the heater, the place I moved to has these stupid little heaters in the wall that stank at first but over time its stopped smelling or I've gotten use to the smell. Either way I'm warm.
