My car might be back together by then too!

Gen2s are da bomb!

[Robert]

Gen 4 gt wheels on gen 2s just look epic I reckon. +1 on the colour coding of the strips. What tyres are you running? Im running 225/45/17 on mine and it scrubs occasionally. Clears the coil quite easily just scrubs in the guards, which are rolled but it tucks tyre so its expected. Love what your doing with this man. Gen2 ftw.

Cheers man

Yeah just running the standard tyre 215/45r17
That's probably why you are scrubing, turns out my sway bar mounts were dry that was making a rubbing/creaking noise. I'm just going to roll the guards as it's pretty close to the rear lip on the guard. With a full tank of fuel and people/shit in the back It starts to tuck

How much did the wheel alignment set you back at Heasman's? I remember asking you but I've forgotten where.

 

The car is definitely coming along nicely man. That pic is awesome. The rims have definitely topped it off.

135 was the final cost, they really know what they are doing.

They adjusted every alignment point they could, and I have confirmed it under the car today. I can see the bolts have been moved

Just curious to what exactly goes into a wheel alignment there? As I've see a few of you guys quote those kind of prices, however up here we pay around half that for a 4 wheel alignment.

As everyone's already said, the car is looking great too!

Sweet. I'm just getting a few prices from the better known wheel alignment places around here cause I will be needing one done for my wagon as soon as possible. Ben fixed up my strut today and it will have shifted a bit. Better safe than sorry. I was thinking of getting a price from Garage88 as well.

Some places don't adjust all the alignment settings, specially when you pay between 40-60 bucks.

I figured this time I would spend the money and see how it goes. I'm happy so far, car handles nice.
They didn't set my car to the original specs either.

Cheers man!
