Default Help: Where do you go?

Hi everyone I got another S!
I have some wheels and tires I want to mount and install but don't know where to go. I'm not looking to break the bank :-P
Any recommendations?

I'm also looking to lower my car slightly. I am looking for linear springs with slightly stiffer spring rates than the OEM ones. Hopefully some that have the same rates front and back also since I'd like to tame somewhat the back end of the car. I have seen many different kinds that show how much they lower but rarely the spring rates. Any thoughts on what I should get?

Thanks in advance!

Drop them off with me in Nashua and i can do them after work, and lets say a 12pack of sam adams should cover it.

ps. i can't bring your car into the shop unfourtunatly, stupid legal issues, but you can swap rims in a parking lot.

let me know, Matt

I may actually get a set of winter tires this year since I now have summer only tires on there. It is gonna depend on how much tread is on them when I return from the dragon. If I can get another summer out of them, I will swap them out. If they need replaced, I will just get another set of the General all seasons I had last time. Those tires were GREAT. Best I have ever owned. Too bad they were on national back order when I needed them.

If they are still around I may take them in the winter. I would have to have them demounted though so I can powder the wheels. I was thinking of getting a set of AP1 wheels powdercoated and just throw some snow tires on there.

This of course is all dependent on the condition of the Sumitomos after the dragon. I am betting they will be shredded.
