Hello all,

Just picked up a 1998 Formula that I will be prepping for ESP class in SCCA Autocross. It's Blurple, but I don't care too much about my cars look (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I have some other things to take care of first, but wheels (17x9 or 10+) and suspension should come soon. I plan on Koni yellows and GC coilovers.

I can't post in the Classifieds.

Anyone have a 17x9.5 C4 Sawblade spare?

I bought a set of stock C4 wheels (17x8.5F and 17x9.5R) and then two 17x9.5 rears for $100. One of the 17x9.5s has a bend in the rim, and the wheel repair place wants $100 to properly fix the bend. Figured I'd just try to find a spare or wait around until someone has another set of C4 rear wheels for cheap.

Tax return came in, and I sold some 240SX parts. Should be placing an order for Konis and Strano springs soon (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Hmmm.... could've sworn someobdy just very recently hooked you up with a full set of 9.5 sawblades.

*shrug* Nah..... must be getting old. Surely you wouldn't be buying yet ANOTHER set this soon..... (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Got my Koni Sports and Strano Springs on last night. I didn't listen to Korry and put the shocks on the lower perch. He'll find out here, so.. enjoy that.

The car really is a different car with proper shocks. I'm exited to get my front and rear bars and panhard bar on. After I raise the front up some, I'll work on the alignment.

*edit*

More parts arrived! These are solid, very happy with them. Thanks Alan! My end links should arrive today as well

I figured your version of "too low" and my version of "too low" were different. It wasn't.

Fixed it. Reinforced brackets and new end links are on, I should be picking up my 35mm solid bar on Sunday, and my Panhardrod/rear bar get it tonight.
