    Terrible visibility, flooding, drove over several potholes at once.

    Went to wheel/tire shop today, they were able to properly balance 3 wheels, one is bent too badly.

    Pretty bummed. Bought 4 new tires on Tirerack a couple months ago, they have less than 1,500 miles on them. Probably going to sell them all on.

    I have Euroweaves up north at my family's place in the Bay Area, but am looking for something to get me and around and to my gf in San Diego in the interim..

        Theres some bottle caps with tires here in SD, not affiliated. Contact him and see if he'll work on the price, it's a little high i think. http://sandiego.craigslist.org/csd/wto/5950131646.html

              That looks like it's close to me. That's about how bad it was in my neighborhood. Cops closed the entrance and I could go home lol.

                            i would just buy new ones. hit up Ground Control, their camber plates are well priced

                              Thats probably what Im going to do with the camber plates, but combine that with the coilover springs/ adjusters from them and it closing in on $1000! Probably going to get new camber plates for peace of mind, and hoping to find the springs elsewhere since its just a basic spring that can be bought anywhere. Im looking at Summit right now.

                              Thinking 6" length, 2.5" ID with a 500# rate up front, not sure on the length for the rear though, but thinking 6-650# in the back.

                              Thoughts?

                                I think you can get eibach coils pretty cheap. Evasive motorsports carries a bunch of brands and sizes.
