Well, I recieved my coil springs from protouringfbody today. I will have to go through my pile of parts, but I think I am still short the upper control arms, and the rear sway bar, at least.

In the meantime, I have all of my front C5 brake parts. I kind of mocked up what they will look like in one of my front wheels. Sorry for the bad pic...

I can't believe how freekin huge these rotors are! Wow!

Also, I got a phone call from Beggs Tire. My tires are here! With any luck, I will get those mounted tomarrow, and I will post up some pics!

Anyone have a good link to C5 left rear, PBR calipers? Possibly rotors? The only place I can find is KORE3. Anyone know of somewhere else that has them any cheaper? Thats the last couple of things I need. (Other than time, lol)

So, I went and had the tires mounted yesterday. First off, the guy wanted me to let everyone know what a pain it was to mount the tires to the front rims. Apperently, wheels normally have a slight taper to them on the inside to help the tire seat properly. Well, these wheels did not have a taper at all! It was kind of neat to watch though. When they finally did seat, the tire went POP! and made the tire and wheel jump up about a foot off of the tire mounter.

Now when I say pop, I don't actually mean the tire exploded. I mean, thats the sound it made when it finally seated.

I took my wife's Honda Fit, to get the tires mounted, so they havent been washed yet. I will wash them, and polish them up. I want to try that Mother's Ball thing on them, and see if I can shine them up some!

Keep in mind that back tire is flat. Time will tell how much trouble it is actually going to be to make these fit. Wish me luck!
