Ordered my first
Well I did something bad. I bought my first bolt on for the car... Axle back MRT KR. I have a feeling my bank is about to start draining itself now.
Side note, bolting up axle backs should be able to be done by. A noob with a jack and driveway right?

Yes it's very simple. Should be able to do it in 30 mins or so.

I'm going to the meet in Arlington on Friday but I don't think it'll be ready by then. I'd be glad to come to more as they come along

Installing them is easy, getting them perfectly lined up however is something I have no patience for. Lol.
