I think the cheap out is the key. They see a turbo kit a couple grand less than a charger and think its economical. Lol

If I had a dollar for every time some nitwit started talking about some cheap turbo "kit" they found on ebay, I could retire. The idiots selling stuff on ebay throw a turbo and a bunch of parts into a box and call it a "kit"...no manifolds, no instructions.

Nitto's don't last long in my experience with them. These Goodyears have lasted 23k miles.

See if Ford Service is still offering their $150 rebate for getting a Ford Service card. That's what I did through Citrus Motors and saved that cash.

Also, they price match.

Just a credit card through Ford. It's 0% for 6 or 12 months. I forget. Takes a few weeks to get the rebate, but it does come in. Then just pay the whole thing off and you saved yourself some dough.

Find the cheapest price you can and then make 'em price match

They only make the Proxy 1's in those 19's. Pretty dang pricey though. Geez. Glad I'm rolling 18's.

Here's a link. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....oModClar=Coupe

The only other option I would chose would be the Michelin which costs a little more.
