That's a deal I cannot refuse. This is going to be a hectic week for me but maybe we can get this deal going this coming weekend. I'll try and send you a PM soon.

I just realized you are in San Diego. It'd probably be easier if you just called me on the phone and you can hear it. I'm in the 760 area code. Slight possibility you could drop by but we are always keeping busy here and it'd have to be on a weekend and you'd have to be on time because we are usually out taking the kids to one of their extracurricular activities. A phone call shouldn't be a problem though. Let me know.

thats funny, i needed the info its exacly what i suspected about my car.

my front is 5 3/4 " on both sides from the rear of the wheel well and the rear is almost an even 6" from the front of the rear wheel well.

i should get this tokico lift kit for my car soon

You don't want to know because I spent too much. Actually, I had a lot of stuff done to my car not just the new exhaust, new struts and springs, new bushings and new sway bars but had a pully replaced, valve job and a bunch of other things. I can't really break it out for you very easily what just the suspension would cost. I'm not looking at my receipt, but I spent about $3,000.
