Depends on which religion you worship under...some belive in reincarnation, so tech you live a few times, but thats usualy under the caste system, which means that every life you have a chance to be born in the low-level crap, but also to be born into riches.

[WildBillyT]

Yeah, but they are GOOD tires :D

[ar0ck]

Yeah reading skills > me. I don't know but they still sound kinda expensive for those sizes. I priced out all my 18's in much wider sizes at about $8-- in BFG KDW2's & DR's but then again those KDW's are nice tires.

Jon, what wheels are you using. I am jealous, that is the exact size I want for the 77 (at least this week :) )

[qwikz28]

jon why is the sound deadening so expensive? i paid about 130 for 50sq ft which did multiple layers on my doors and trunk. am i talking about the wrong type of sound deadening?

The reviews i read showed that the RAAMmat bxt was a better value for the money...and i bought over 150sq ft with the intentions on doing the trunk, doors, roof, firewall, floor, etc...ill probably have extra left over but i didnt want to run out.

one layer throughout the cabin but double up on the trouble areas (doors, trunk, wheel wells, and the sail panels in our cars) don't bother doing the outsides cause it wont stick long.

and jon, i really cant stress enough the importance of prepping the surface with alcohol. it sticks like garbage if you don't.

[unstable bob gable]

150sq ft would weigh about 50-70 pounds. i doubt he's even gonna add that much.

good stuff! I wanna see how the tire stance looks when you have the car out, I might copy your fronts. The 275's walk all over the place.

try getting some tie rods that correct bump steer (moog or baer tracker)

excellent, a front end rebuild was planned for the near future anyway. I was gonna use Moog and spohn (swaybar) as well as energy suspension poly bushings for the a-arms. I have a whole breakdown with part numbers and prices saved on my computer.

yup, don't skimp out on the tie rods and ball joints, especially on the older cars. i'm gonna go with the baer tie rods but the moogs are a nice lower priced alternatives.

See if global west makes del-a-lum bushings for those lower arms. You'll be happier, if not poorer. :)

Those leafs are basically race stuff. No need.
