    ok just posted pictures and they worked haha ok now serious business

    well gonna do my very first build thread and well the car ive had it for a week and allready pouring money in it, ok on closer inspection when i first got my car front valve cover was really leaking bad so replaced that and also radiator had a crack on the top so replaced that now i put my car on a lift n found my wheel bearing were moving a bit more than i would like to be comfortable so this is everything i bought to fix alignment issues and atleast replace the worn parts
    -wheel hub assemblies both front
    -4 rotors and pads
    -fromt inner and outer tie rods
    -lower ball joints
    and thats it for now almost all engine mounts and tranny mounts are really worn out so gonna order some poly mounts when money allows it and well thats it for now will post more to come

    Is that sticker bomb on the intake? And I recommend the power stop brake kit. You can get it on amazon. Or summit. And it's like 270 bucks drilled and slotted rotors and ceramic brake pads all the way around and they don't rust. And I've had mine for about a month or longer now and I lovenit

    5x114.3 fit our cars. So it'll open up your options a little more. If you want 18s I would try and get a 8inch wide.
