Old Pirellis on my Borbets were leaking air and down to the steel belt. Not good.

Getting wrapped for free, at the pace of free, in bridgestone runflats.

should be one weds along with replacing tie rods.

also, i scrapped the lip going 60 up a hill, this thing will be off the car by next saturday because its crazy crazy low.
Sorry for shitty blackberry pic

Always interested. As long as you bring some hookers.

Stiffer and the cornering is better. Not a whole lot. Bavauto springs are close to stock but a little bit stiffer. Noticable difference vs stock. I picked them up for 90$ shipped and its a win. My struts and mounts are in great shape and if something blows, nex will be my replacement

As good as it gets if you want a 12 pack from my local convenience store. Trust me, Budweiser is nowhere near the top on my beer chart.
