      ...and that would be just fine.

      Lexus is such crap that sometimes they require new components to change alignments tho. hahaha

      Ugh. I can't stand Lexus owners. They're so pompous and think they're better than you. I once got in a fight with a Lexus owner when I said, truthfully, that Lexus is just a rebadged Toyota.

      lexus feeds their customer pompousness though, our local lexus dealers have free day spa services while you get your vehicle serviced.

      my $45k audi, and $38k audi both did that, every 10k miles... this is what turned me to using "cheap" performance tires. they would last at least the 10k miles of tires 2-5x their price.

      Agreed. I have had outstanding luck with NEXEN tires. Also Riken.

      I am now on my third set of front tires and I am 74000 miles. Personally I think the suspension and mcphearson suspensions is worth about a hill of beans. My second set of tires could have last longer but the struts gave out. I have a three year contract for alighments and they would not even do the last alignment because the struts gave out. Now I am waiting on the cash and get some coilover shocks. Then I will have a setup that will work better for tires and speed.




      Please do not power off, firmware update pending.....
