Here's a question:

Will everyone be going back to stock for the road trip or keeping aftermarkets on?

Yes, I will be definitely going back to stock brother!

I will remove the following:
1. Swap out my Tein Flex suspension for stock springs/shocks
2. Swap out my BBK for stock brakes
3. Put back my oem exhaust
4. Take of the TTE lip and L-tuned side skirts
etc. , etc.,

Are you kidding me??? Why would anyone do that??

Don't take this personaly bro, I just found your question too funny!

I think he meant rims. My car will ride too low with the Supra TT wheels I have. I don't daily my car so I'll chance the drive on the 19's should look funny with all that blue tape on the front too

Thanks Plex, that's what I meant.... Thought it was simple enough, just looking for thoughts/opinions since I had a blowout on my 19's on my last run down to Greensboro....

LMAO, Hameed... I thought the same thing.

I didn't know he meant just rims, I thought he meant converting the car back to stock in its entirety.

I'm leaving everything on, including my 19" fat setup. The least of my worries is blowing a tire on all those smooth azz highways down to Atlanta. I'm more concerned about a blowout here in the MD/DC area where the city streets are atrocious.

Hopefully we'll have a nice caravan heading South, but what time are we leaving? Thursday or Friday? If we leave Friday, that's pushing it...it's a solid 10-11 hours from MD (plus you gotta figure in bathroom/food/gas stops). Anybody leaving on Friday who lives north of MD is REALLY gonna have to leave early, or else be arriving in Atlanta Saturday morning...which would suck.

Kevin, if I head down, I will start on Thursday as my drive is a solid 15 hours and that does not take into account food/gas/bathroom stops!
