OK. Celi has been pretty crappy lately, so been driving Rex everywhere...but scared to keep doing that for fear of being broken into...specially at school. I finally got some good cash so I went to local shop...took Celi there and I knew they'd complain about my tires well....

Front-Left 2/32"
front-right 1/32"
rear-left 0/32"
rear-right 0/32"

K, so new tires are in order...was going to get some 17s and better tires btut heyd dint have any rims in stock so I said fudge it and kept the stockers and put on some Goodyear Eagle T/A HR tires on them...wow! OK, now I guess when I was doing ebrake fun...I really messed some stuff up, because a bunch of suspension spacers were missing abd bushings were fudged!!! Man they did a whole front end and rear end job as well as tires and a bunch of adjustments. The car rides like a dream, better than when I bought it and there is no more shake at all at or above 70mph where a lot of people get some wheel shake and I got a lot. There's also a lot less shaking while bnraking yet still some and this is due to the rear brakes being totally warped.

I guess the point of this post is just to tell you all, that if you are getting that horrible wheel shake or even to the point where u feel every bump or maybe your car isn't responsive...get your car into the shop and have a full alignment (maybe even new tires) as well as a front and rear end suspension check. It changes the whole experience of this car...I can go around cloverleafs at 60 like i used to be able to when i first got the car. What a difference 800 bucks makes.
