I might buy a crib in MIA and keep the 8 there. So I finally might be able to drop my car like you fools lol. The roads in NYC seems to get 10% worse every year. With the constant ramps and speed bumps being built; everyone here will be required to purchase a SUV smh.

I was just out east for wekfest. We went to Manhattan for a cruise the night before and I know you're not exaggerating at all. I thought the roads in Chicago were bad, our cars could barely drive out there!

I'm staying off the east coast roads!

some places in California are pretty bad as well but for the most part you avoid the bad areas.

That's what you think. Go drive around the L.A. area and around the S.F. area, then let us know the outcome...lol

your tires are too wide. You're going to need to run like 6 degrees of camber. I had a similar setup.

chino0314, can't wait to see your aggressive setup.

My driverscore is up there. Driving in Detroit, my buddy behind me said I looked like a crazy drunk driver or a auto-x'er on the road avoiding potholes.

Oh I also forgot to mention yours will never fit correctly without coilovers also. You'll need to run like 6 degrees of camber too. Your tires are too wide.
