Smile First curbing of the year...

I have gotten reckless lately not being to careful driving over speedbumps and making tight turns...
Today I learned my lesson... I was talking to my friend and i made a right turn and heard the most saddest sound ever... It's not too bad but you know how it just bothers you to know there is something wrong with your baby...
Also to top it off I haven't driven a lowered car in a min and I was pretty smooth on the first 2 speed bump... Then I figure it will be okay and i drove right over one and it made the *clunk* somewhere in the middle...

I'm up for tires too and blew about 500ish on tires...
I got Sumitomo... I should of gotten Mich or Yoko but i'm short on cash... I hope they last me 2-3 seasons...

Having a bad week!

i found that as long as you just take it slow unless you are really dumped on coilovers which i think you have springs right? just take it real slow, if you have to angle it but usually you shouldn't need to and then there are things you just need to avoid such as any dips and crazy driveways that no matter what you do you will scrape lol
