    New rear shocks installed. Pics. Went with KYB 349070

    So let me put my flame suit on first as I know how HORRIBLE these tires are! But seriously, I've gone through 3-4 sets of these tires on a different vehicle and they aren't that bad. I wasn't really falling in love with any of the other tires that are available so I didn't really want to pay...
