From the normal girl in school,
I’m obsessed. Just wrapped up around 11p, so I’m stoked to see it in day light. It’s off tomorrow to BFI for an alignment and get dialed in

They look so similar to my wheel. I can't tell if they're hartmanns or something else, I want to say something else.

They did! And new studs, so that was cool. I’m over the moon with my tire rack order. I placed it Sunday, it arrived Wednesday. They didn’t charge me for shipping OR mounting and balancing the tires. Haven’t needed to call them for any reason to test out customer service, but that’s a win in my eyes! Also, I bought 2018 Bridgestone’s for a heck of a deal. They’re already gripper then OESo I guess they did include the hub centric rings? Looks great.

Replaced the front right shock on my coilovers today. Somehow got the ride height correct first try but the left side of the car coupe be lowered a bit.

Only thing that front plate is good for. Glad you’re mostly unscathed.

Goodies from TireRack, I was a pain but Gus made it an easy process. Wheels from one warehouse and tires were on order to another, but everything came and I'm very pleased with the result. 18x8 Flow One F1S @ 20lbs/corner, wrapped in 225/40/18 Riken Raptors. Great street tire, and my first set of new wheels. They were on sale under $200/ea and my wife liked them too, so it was a slam dunk.

Looks good. With the money saved can you lower the car?

Nah, I'm planning to keep it at current height. There are too many factors to consider when changing suspension geometry and design, and I'm looking for optimal road handling over aesthetic. Without access to a shock dyno I'm hesitant to change the car's behavior, as it is it's enjoyable in all conditions and behaves how I'd like it to.
Besides, it's not the autocross car -- just a fun weekender.

I made a “pilgrimage” of sorts and got a pic in front of the old VW plant in PA where they used build Rabbits back in the day. I wanted to get closer but my wife was adamant about me not driving past the unmanned guard shack

You went to all that trouble and used a potato to get the picture?
