talked to the local shop that has the Falken Hanabi's in stock. said he'll match or beat the best price i can find online...i've only found 2 websites(www.edgeracing.com & www.1010tires.com) with the bronze Hanabi's, edgeracing has em for $405 shipped(tho they dont have them in stock right now..) and 1010tires has em for $475 shipped. so i should be able to get these wheels for about $400 which is awesome. i was j/w if anyone else knows any other websites that sells these wheels to see if i can possibly get them a little cheaper. thanks!! if i buy from this local guy, i'll prolly get the wheels this weekend and get those Azenis mounted next week

man, good stuff. Yeah i don't know from what i've read if you really want to upgrade front sway bar. Lot's of the reading i've been doing has suggested against it unless you're rear sway is overkill (which it doesn't seem to be), but then agian, you prob know more than i do.

little update but not much of one lol. i was supposed to pick up the wheels this past saturday, went to the bank to get the $400 but apparently i already ran my limit for my account for the month sooo now i gota wait till next weekend . o well, ill still have the wheels/tires on before the next race(april 15th). i asked the guy at work how much it would be to mount/balance and do an alignment(i need one), thats gena be $40 so once i get the wheels, ill get all that done asap. i also just put up my other wheels on ebay last night, hoping to get atleast $200 for em...
i've decided that if i get that $200, ill add a couple other things to the list:
- lightweight battery(havnt researched what kind yet)
-oem front lip
-amber corners
-brake pads(possibly Hawk, will research more..)
-ek sideskirts(depending on whats left over and if i want to spend more..)

ok well i should be picking up the wheels on wednesday now that i have the money in hand. ill prolly have the tires mounted and everything on hopefully by the end of this week if possible. i also hope to order the LCA's by this weekend so i can get them on and have the alignment done by end of next week. im really depending on my wheels to sell on ebay so ill be able to buy the LCA's this weekend. so far theres 4 days left, 125 views, and i've already gotten a couple emails from a couple different ppl that are interested, so i really hope it will sell. im also going to be picking up brand new Energy Suspension shifter bushings for free from a local guy that no longer has his civic and just wants them gone .
now the question is, what color LCA do u think would look best? keep in mind ill have bronze wheels and prolly be getting the gold colored Beak's rear lower tie bar.
leaning more towards silver, but i dunno.. i like em all lol.
