Krazy Kyle Get It To Wheelspin Uncontrolably Then Give It Another 5 Pounds Cruise Control 2,697 Member For: 14y 21d Gender: Male Location: Work Posted 21/04/13 10:54 AM Share Posted 21/04/13 10:54 AM ^^ lol..... I laugh at it, although steve still has the upper hand in a few ways. 1. power.... and 2. just bought (well, in the process) a new set of tyres.... $1000..... and that's an extreamly good price compared to going down to 'ol bob jane... would be over 2k if I went there. 20" suck sometimes.but in other news, bought the new tyres to do the Nullarbor again, possibly in a months time or so. house should be done soon. which means by the end of may/start of june I will set up a good cruze. make up for the one I planned but didn't go on back in december Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are replacing out of pocket are there options for aftermarket ones that are better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(ie nothing else that would have that loose, almost low pressure feeling in the rear) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some top cars in there every time I've been. Another mob I've heard good things about is Wilkinson suspension but never got the chance to use them - went in for alignment and they found stuffed wheel bearing, didn't charge me anything and sent me on my way.
