Its Christmas in September!!!
My springs and wheels showed up yesterday!
I dropped everything and installed the springs and threw the wheels on.
I got O.Z. Ultralagerras in black with Kumho Ecsta LX Platinum 245/40/18 tires and H&R sport springs
Btw boo on tirerack. Every wheel was at least 1 ounce off and one tire wasn't even seated correctly on the rim.
I got to spend my morning at wheel works getting em fixed.
Neway..... So far I only took a couple pics with my phone

Thanks.
Ugh I was pissed off until today when I got a reply to my angry email. All I really wasted then was a couple hours waiting at wheel works.
The new tires are amazingly quiet, so great.
Handling is so-so. I tried throwing it around a 90 degree turn at 40 and it started to slip, didn't go completely but I could hear all 4 tires, lol.

umm,
Kumho Ecsta LX Platinum = Grand Touring All Season, UTQG 600 A A, $161 each.
cheapest PS2 = Max Performance Summer, UTQG 220 AA A, $260 each.
Potenza RE-11 (replacement for 01's) = Extreme Performance Summer, UTQG 180 A A, $252 each.
there might be a reason why he chose the Kumho's (time of year/season, treadwear rating, price).

yeah dood, got the tires because they are grand touring. I'm tired of loud tires.
Best set I had tho was Bridgestone Potenza SO-2's. Those could handle anything.
