The ole "fuck this im done" status..

cut springs now. i was gonna try and do heat on another set of springs, but not as low. Until i can stumble upon some used coils. the only spring still available for the 9 is the tein, and the drop is 1 inch.. and that does nothing for me...everything else is discountinued. or hard to get... i aint gonna quit, maybe take a break!

I'd just get another set out of the junkyard and cut fewer coils out. Heating springs would give you inconsistent results, I would think.

[speedminded]

no coils.. i havent been able to get my hands on a set...if i could find a set i would have been had them.. i got an alignment with the height.. but the camber cant be corrected..."its too extreme" quoted (kauffman tire)

A spring is just that, a spring...a single piece of metal. You're telling me no other car has a spring with the same inside diameter as your car?

i dont want a spring i want a coilover.....ive got a few ideas that might work..

Coil-over sleeves are like $10, spot weld a perch lower on a shock and you're good to go...cheap coil-over dampener.

[DeeAOne]

we have all been there.

imo, get used tires if you go through them so much. decent tread for a fraction of the price. i have yet to by a set of new tires in my lifetime. lol

I just spent $150 on a tattoo instead of a bumper and fenders. WTF is up with this shit?




Although a week or so I paid $700 for wheels, $150 for exhaust, and some little things.

[DeeAOne]

whoa tat? dont tell me you got that butterfly on your back you have been talking about.

Go on myspace. I posted it

[Humphrizzle]

You ever come to a point where u want to chill out on the car.. and just do some other shit..

ive spent soo much more money on tires, and getting tires mounted. than i have on any other stuff for my car... i just feel like im wasting money for nothing. But i cant afford to keep throwing money away on tires.... I feel like going back to stock , and just driving...

yep.. that how i feel right now.. until i am living comfortably with a perfectly RUNNING car, i am fine with the way it looks as long as i take care of the paint and keep the interior lookin mighty fresh.

[TheChosenOne]

Stay strong brotha! There's a reason that you always come back to it, and it's cause you love you car! Well, at least I love mine. Money comes and goes, but true passion is irreplaceable.

Higher treadwear tires?

I got 100k miles out of my BFGoodwich KDW-2's with burnouts, "drifts", stupid shit, etc...

[YoshiFD3S]

If I blow my motor before I get my re-enlistment bonus I'll pretty much say "Fuck this.." and take a break.

:P

[Dirty Octopus™]

After getting fucked out of suspension... YEs. I'm done.

[Arm&hammer]

I'm so lucky tires for my car are $50 each. Even though i cant drive my car.

[boosted_nonv]

man this is exactly how i feel right now, just more focused on my family and school thats my priority now, and as you can see in my pic i've move from a 2dr integra to a 4dr VOLVO

[mp5o]

Just have your tires flipped when the it starts to get about low on the inside... That way you can get double the life...

Hey man, you need to adjust your toe.

Camber does not wear your tires out nearly as much if your toe is correct. I got 15k out of Falkens and I had ALOT of camber.

i was adjusting it almost every other week myself. And i got my toe adjusted at kauffman before. And i dont think they did a great job, because of the one i went to. but after that i did my toe adjustments on my own in the driveway. it helpd alot... But i think next time im taking it to the other kauffman this time.. but also ihave a few things in the front end i still need to replace...because i thinks its whats causing it not to hold a proper alignment.

You could try a set of poly suspension bushings, or stock replacement bushings if nobody makes a poly set for your car, as well as new tie rod ends and possibly ball joints, see if that will hold your alignments better and keep the suspension and steering nice and tight too. Also talk to the people at Grand Torismo east, I heard they are very helpful, they might know more about what they're doing than Kauffman since you keep saying they're not doing things right for you.

Gran Turismo East can lick balls. They'll tell you that your car is too low to go on their rack, serves no purpose, and to raise it up past stock height for them to be able to work on it. Gran Turismo East FTL

I've had 2 very close friends give me a positive review on them, aligning some slammed cars with very adjustable suspension setups. Maybe you got hold of their worst mechanic, or maybe they have gone downhill, or gotten better since you went? I am just going off of recommendation my old room mate and my cousin gave me as well as being friends with the chick who works the front desk there.

I took both of my old cars there for alignments and they did it no problem. I used to praise GTE. I took the s2000 over there and whoever I dealt with gave me a damn lecture about my car being too low. I didn't go there for a lecture, I went there for an alignment. He tells me, "we align race cars that are this low, but they serve a purpose." Are you kidding me? Low is low. I had the worst time and I will do what I can so no one else goes there. I'm not the only one who's had a bad experience either. I had a friend with a BMW 335i take his car there too, and they gave him the same trouble they gave me. And his car is NOWHERE near as low is mine. His has a mild drop. Place is terrible, old school rack, and a terrible driveway to pull into

My wagon eats tires like godzilla eats asian ppl

I took most of last year and about half of this year off to focus on other things. I drove stuff that was boring, got me from point a to b, got decent gas mileage and was decently reliable. I finally got the opportunity to put some things together I had sitting around and built a fun little car that gets me from point a to b, gets decent gas mileage and is decently reliable. Plus it is extremely fun. Sometimes a to b is from the Christmas Tree to the traps, or it may be from the shop to the parts store. The best advice I can give is to walk away for about a week, drive something else for that time, dont even look at the car and when you come back it will be better. Believe me, it really does work.
