Put the 18"s back on and ridin' like glass again.

Don't take an alignment for granted. That $98.00 could have saved me the $500 + it's going to cost me to replace the two tires I destroyed.

How do you know when its time for an alignment?

I definitely don't wanna wait til my tires are bald like that!

When you completely change the suspension! You start messin' with ride heights, struts, coilovers, springs, dropping the entire rear subframe........ Get it aligned. You should be fine though.

Oh, Glynn Smith in Opelika charges $69 for a 2-wheel and $89 for a 4-wheel alignment.

My Pirelli's up front show almost no signs of wear. The rears..... well, anyone need some drag slicks?

Hey, I did sit in a nice '11 SIM 2SS while at the dealership. And a '12 Ashen Gray 2SS. That Ashen Gray really is a nice color.

That's it! You tore it up! Nah, this was completely on me. It was aligned then with the old set up. Just never got it done with the Pedders on. Completely my fault.

Sorry, random question time. Does anyone know if I bought a exhaust made for a Camaro with ground fx (because there is a good deal on it) and tried to put it on my camaro without ground fx would it work?

Could I fab it up some how?

Ask Diane. Didn't she have her ground effects put on after she got the car?

I'd think the only difference (if any) would be the tips.

And sorry, didn't know you were back to school yet or I'd have called you!
