I'm looking at getting those tires for my 18s towards the end of summer.
Nice! Tiny looks great too.
Glad to see you're back into basically your same car, but you get to do all the things to it over again

I.... do NOT trust those. Looks good though bro. Still odd with you and a 03/04 bumper though.

Well if you noticed those two things are not even remotely close in design haha

I have used a spring compressor quite a few times and never had an issues with it, they are also used in shops quite alot. Its not the compressor thats dangerous, its the person using it lol

I never called you out for not liking the other compressor, working on cars is dangerous sometimes, I get that. But the spring could just as easily pop out of that compressor as it could any other other one.

I'm not saying you did but... I'd rather be over safe than sorry. No the way I had it set up it wasn't going anywhere period...
