SF Winning in Mercury Silver 19x8.5+35 Front and 19x9.5 +32 Rear is that too agressive a setup? I don't want it to rub.

But chrome is so shiny...

So you say I should get the chrome in 18's?

HK PSG? Is that really necessary? I say so!

Fine I'll take the vote.

This is what I have so far...

Gold(SF)=1 Mike
Chrome= 5 Gil, Phil, Zumn, Ryan, Armin
Silver= 2 Jedi, Jen

I also need a proper set up that is the most aggressive but doesn't rub.

Thumbs up

Got back from Phil's and I am happy to announce...my compression is good!

Jeff(MM), Ray(Charles Hill) Eric(Easy_E1) Were nice enough to knock out my compression tests and show me how to do it, so that I can do it for the rest of you (with Phil's permission and his tester ) It was pretty easy or they made it look easy, took about 15 minutes after the car was jacked up.

I am glad I got meet them in their element while working on Phil's car and got a lot of knowledge and opinions from all of them on the 8 and my wheel setup. I got too see some of Ray's quality worksmanship and MM rocking out his tunes(Cobb AP)

As all of you already know that have met them they are cool as hell even though they are old as dirt. Just kidding...Jeff isn't old, Eric is cool and young at heart and Ray is shaved bald so there is no telling what his age is.

Had a great time but I hadn't eaten all day and at 230pm my energy was winding down on just smokes and energy drinks especially after two sweet rides shotgun in Phil's 8. Thanks guys.
