Saved up money for classes, paid and purchased books, have $$ left over. Last semester so no need to keep it around.

Ok...The T/A needs two front tires for sure, but I might have a chance to buy some CCW Classics with used BFGoodrich R1s on there.

Also needs some new front rotors and pads, but could be useful to get rid of McParts store rear pads/rotors. Plus add in some stainless steel brake lines.

I also need new catback...

So I could A) Get CCW classics, which are wheels I dream of for a fraction of the costs. B) Get two front tires, ATE rotors at all four corners, Goodridge stainless steel brake lines, Porterfield R4S pads, and new catback (texas-speed in house) or C) Put towards new engine build stash that is also being saved up.

Help me make logical decision.

B.

You need the tires, rotors, pads, and lines and want the cat back. Wheel tastes change and long-term engine projects can afford to be ignored.

Whoa there turbo - it may be the last semester, but do you have a job lined up after school? If not, I'd stash your money.

I think that its bad that I thought the same thing. And I'm only 19.

But you have that Honda Tech position, right?

If the brake parts can wait, I'd buy the wheels. Sounds like you're getting a good deal on them, and if in the near future you find yourself stuck for cash, you could probably flog them for more than you paid.

Yes I have a job right now ("it's secure"), just got something else as well (editorial staff for something new), have other monies stashed as well.

Waiting to here back from dude with wheels, if not it's option B. Brake stuff needs to be upgraded, but I need same size wheels all around as well. The staggered setup is causing some problems with the ABS under hard braking at autox events.
