    I got my tire size using a calculator, it's what tire rack recommended too. So 215/40's would be thinner sidewall right. Is that what you are running on your RGR's?
    They are pretty close in diameter, and you get a wider tire.

    I'd buy used springs, but why bother with used shocks, they are a wear item. I've blown multiple bilsteins with race springs with less than 10k on them. I've had better luck (less leaks) with the lower spring rated.

        I was just thinking it would save me some cash, but like most things you get what you pay for. I think I'm going to wait and get the H&R's from Blunt and KDW's from Costco.

        Fuck Colorado's arcane speeding and red light enforcement. Boulder is even worse than Denver. It doubled its fines in 2008 to make up for lost tax revenue. Artificially low speeding limits are everywhere. The red light cameras are plain dangerous. I heard somewhere that Boulder was thinking about taking a few down because the private company that operates them got the majority of the profit. If I was a lawyer I would take it upon myself to sue the legality and safety of the red light cameras.

          they have to have a photo of you before, during, and after the light, while it is red to convict. otherwise you can get it tossed.

            I have been flashed multiple times by the cameras in Boulder and have yet to receive a ticket. But I have gotten a couple tickets from the speed vans that camp out.
