Toyo Proxes T1's for only $105 apiece????!!!!  Where?  I paid A HELL OF A LOT
MORE for mine.....The performance is incredible and I cant see going with
another tire in the future, but I couldn't afford what I paid for 'em
again......

I have Koni shocks/struts with Neuspeed Sport Lowering Springs and love the
setup.....great even without a rear bar(although I do have to get one.....)
