I mean who in their right mind would purchase vehicles right now on a Corporate scale... Unless you're paying 1/2 >1/4 of KBB.

I've been laid off indefinitely since the 21st.

Online car sales were given the OK today by the governor, but my role is non-essential in relation to that unless someone gets sick and dies.
Sorry man :( Ugh the breadth of this economic doom is fucking insane.

Makes sense....
Carvana offered like $13.5K but they'll only take it if I trade it in on something else (also makes sense). I'm good dawg, looks like I'm in it for the long haul, it'll only get like 5K miles a year, but whatever. Maybe that will make it worth still $10K when :manuel: are rare since it will still be in nice shape.

I think I may get some new :ramz: post COVID if I don't get shit canned.

The currents?

I like them... but I think if I'm going to keep this for the long haul I'd like to move to a square setup. It's the biggest flaw of the car, maybe I will do that + t00n for some staying powah/fun.

Yea they are the proper size too (height). I am with you on the factory neutering I mean that’s why my name was changed by the mods, thanks to my :225: bitchfest.

Got the suspension all back on and ready on the :poorvette: :excited:

I need to reach out to the dude who aligned it for me and see if he can :doit: again. I pretty much just need to detail it once the new paint arrives and put the brakes on and it'll be ready :stig:

I think I will wait until post-COVID to :troywax: on new rubberz :doe:

:lolgasm:

I honestly think the C5 brakes are the best floating caliper brakes I've ever driven. My car with rebuilt calipers, SS lines, and good pads/rotors could rival any fixed caliper setup in anything other than heavy track use.

BRZ floaties are good too.

I haven't driven a BRZ much, but from my limited experience, they do seem :notbad:

:aintcare: I do love the way my Beemah's brakes look, but these perform really well. Braking is like 70% tires, 20% pads.

I have a compressor to pop out the pistons, so I offered to rebuild griff's calipers since I've done it a few times in the past.

Unfortunately, the front rebuild kits appear to be for a C6 or something because the seals are too big. Griff's getting those back unassembled, but cleaned and painted with a fresh coat of G2 caliper paint. The rears are ready to bolt on.
