Another wheel and coilover install

Amazing how they change the look of the car. I know this is not much compared to most of you guys, but I see now how this can be very addicting. When i first got the pss9, they were nice, but needed new rims to go with it. Now i look at the rims and think i need side skirts and front bumper. I have a feeling this will never end. Thanks 6speed.

Btw, anyone know the break in period for Michelin ps2? I'm sliding all over the place. I don't remember my previous set of Conti's being this greasy when new. Maybe i'm just driving harder now.

How'd you find the GT3's? Man I wish I would have had those things in stock to sell you......

The Ps2's have a lot of mold release in the rubber and need several hundred miles to work it out or a good power wash. They'll straighten up in a few days.
