Rotating is easy if you have quick access to at tire machine. My girls G has the staggered setup on there and I just swap tires from left to right, and right to left (front and rear respectively). Honestly, if you keep your alignment in spec, you won't eat through tires that easily.

On a side note, looks like I will be going with an FI system from Tony for my 37x. If I'm going to pay ~$800-1000 for an exhaust, might as well get one that will be worth it in the long run. He's offering their new X-pipe at no charge on any system through the end of the year. I don't mind the 6-8 week wait - I'm in no hurry.

Haha - you say you can wait 6 to 8 weeks. Then some time goes by and you think, is this thing going to come? It may take longer, I had to wait about 10 to 12 weeks before I received mine, just to level set with you.

I'm pretty patient with things. I purchased some FI RHFCs from someone here and will get those on until I get the exhaust - that will keep my antsy level at an ease. I am only required to leave a $300 deposit anyway so I can easily justify the purchase.

Quick question... where can I can order exhaust gaskets since the ones that I got are not in the best shape and I'm thinking I might have a leak somewhere.

I think I need 6 since the pair between HFCs and "Y-pipe" are good because I put them in there after installing HFCs

Any reputable muffler shop should have these if not I think I have a few spare ones that came with my MXP exhaust that I could mail out to you.

My favorite drive so far was from Vancouver, BC to San Diego then I hung a left and went to El Paso. Took a couple weeks with the stops at buildings and sights along the way but it was spectacular through the redwoods and so many other places.

I actually do love LA, I've "lived there" for weeks at a time over the past few years. But it's a lot different when the company is paying for everything and all I need to do is work a little and eat!
The wife keeps bugging me about taking her and the kids to Hearst Casttle. We'll probably make the trek over in January or February but not 100% sure yet.

Went with soft-front, and middle-back, having come to the researched conclusion that you only go aggressive if you're dialing in for the track. Figured once they go on, I wouldn't be changing things, and I haven't.

Of course, the only way to really know is to try different setting combinations and make up your own mind. And if that were something I could accomplish without crawling under the car over and over... meh. I'm a lazy old man.
You know John, the tech that installed my sways told me not to go full stiff. He claims from experience that the full stiff setting will cause you to spin out?
