Man car looks really clean, congrats on the mileage but I know apart of you hates knowing your car is creeping towards 100k...almost like me knowing I'll hit 30 in 3 years

P.S.- thought about painting your lugs?? I have the gorilla black ones from discount, they look pretty clean, pretty cheap too if you give them a call

yeah i did think of painting them but i like the contrast.. for now. still a lot to do on the car, next few months is all suspension and wheels/tires. RSR race springs are going on either with koni yellows or gab super r's. then theres the dirty job of replacing worn suspension bushing and toe link / trailing arm parts.

side note-- when i removed my wheels i found my 2 front tires were worn on the inside edges much more then the outer. what can cause this?

Inside wear can be caused by high negative camber but can also be caused by high toe settings. You should get the car aligned -- after installing your new suspension parts.
