Rolling around on stock wheels and all-season tires is making me sad. I got some sidewall roll on my favorite on-ramp yesterday, scared my sister because we were taking it about 10mph faster than normal and we were passing the cars in the inside lane by at least 20mph.

I really can't decide what I want to do car wise. I'm still driving ~2,000 miles/month and the stiff suspension is becoming too much. As I see it I can:

- Go back to stock and cry every time I turn hard
- Sell the 8, buy a beater and an FD
- Buy a beater, shelve the 8 until spring
- Reinvest in the 8. Probably go to Bilstein Coils with adjustment ***** that do what they say they do and lighter springs, put on bigger sways and buckle up for the long haul, planning to keep the car for another 5 years.

swap out the suspension for Racing Beat springs and Tokico d-specs. On full soft it will be nice and cushy for the commute.

It's none of my business, but where are you driving? You live across the street from your work.

Discount Tire price matches (online sites as well) and they offer 30 day return policy. If you do not like the tires they will give you 100% credit towards other tires.

Thanks! I heard the price matching mentioned recently, but I didn't know about the return policy (that rocks!).

Also can't frick'n wait to get my alignment fixed, having my car change direction on/off throttle has gotten OLD!

No problem. A good site to price match against is discounttires.com. It is not the same as Discount Tire. Notice tires is plural. Dondo hooked me up with this site. Saved me some money too
