Nixsun, did you notice any pros/cons since your wheel update?

Now I see why you upgraded the brake hardware 
As for me, I still feel like the car is still pulling slightly to the right esp. when I brake. So I just called Pep Boys and asked for my money back on the wheel alignment because frankly at this point, I'm just tired of going back there and being told the work will be done in 1 hour or an hour and a half only to be standing around for 5-6 hours at a time. Plus I've lost business AND money from work (job wise) AND was 3 hours late to the office yesterday beause of all this. After talking with the manager like half an hour ago, he was like give me one more chance to get it right. I'm like hell no. I've given you guys too many chances and have lost money standing around. Needless to say, I'll be heading back to collect my 65.00 later on this evening

At this point, I've spent enough. 500 for the labor on struts Sat. and 642.00 for the tires + labor + mounting and balance + 65 for alignment. So minus 65 and you have 1142.00 spent in 2 days. Yeah....I think that qualifies for the spent too much money on this car award for the day!
Thats why if you check my Ebay profile, you'll find a few items for sale. Hopefully I can make some of this money back. I've got 2 Dunlop runflats, 245/40/18 , 2 Audi H3 Halogen(or HID ) projectors and the old struts and coach wheels and tires with 80% tread all up for sale. Although, at this point, I'm considering keeping the old wheels just in case I may want to switch back
