^I ordered mine through a company on eBay (found them there an contacted outside of it). They are sold for around $160 and some come with 15' of extra wrap as well which is what I got just because it was $2 more and why not even though I don't need it. hah

I've really only been doing small stuff to the car. Got new wheels for the car as well and waiting for the new front tires after finding one of the fronts had a broken belt causing it to buldge out. I've been mainly concentrating on my daily driver getting it back up and running (converting to a manual after my auto trans woes)

Here are a couple "teaser" pics of the new wheels. 18x8.5 30mm with 215/35 Hankook R-S2's (the new tires are the same that are on the way) and the rears are 18x9.5 30mm with 245/40 Mickey Thompson ET Street drag radials.

I finally put the car back on the ground for the first time in months! Since the front tires are stretched now I need to lower the fronts even more (around a 3/4" or more). I actually don't even need to roll the fender which is awesome because I can use my new fender well liners and not have to cut them etc.

This is still with it needing to be lowered more and I'm going to run a little more negative camber but I won't go to messing with that until all of the car is done and ready to head to Texas.

Here you can see that it needs to be lowered at least 3/4".
