brakes... work. they feel a tad mushy still (could it be because i only have the front ss lines?). drove around for a while, took the car home. i'm going to see if i can tighten some things up tmw. also... i am unable to lock the front brakes, is that normal? meh i'll hit it with some brakleen and some sandpaper tmw

a friend might be giving me some falken tires, 4 for 40. gonna try it out, 2 for now of course

my friend gave me some 195 60 15s. i just aligned the car with those and a modest drop with a modest camber of -2.8. so far so good. but i'm afraid my springs(drivers side) are moving around?

I really don't know how to explain it, but i've been checking it to make sure nothing is drastically wrong. havn't seen anything yet.
