oh and if the camber wear starts gets really bad you can get a tire guy to swap them to the other side of your car, most directional tires can switch sides... I think im gonna have this done over the winter...

Most new tires are not directional ZeX but rather have a front side and back side...so the back side is always the back side. My Parada 2 and Azenis are both like this.

I have a set of dunlop fm901s...ill have to check into it, see if they can swap sides...

i'm sad... i went to rotate my tires... i had 185 60 r14 in the front and 195 60 r14 in the rear and when the wheel is turned all the way it rubs now... :cry: but its only when its turned all the way and its not really noticeable other then when the radio is off

what do you mean spend little more bucks and buy shocks i used to have neuspeed race on my accord and it was fine

anyone who says "it's fine" is cuz you've never felt properly set up dampening on your car - you just don't know better, or you don't drive to notice the difference.

Point is, my car isn't a race car neither... nor do I drive fast. But if it ever came to it, I know my car is the safest car on the road, and I can confidently manouver in emergency situations and not worry about a thing. In my old Daytona I spun out 3 or 4 times in RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC into the middle of an intersection!!! Never in an accident, but I was fortunate. I count my blessings. At that point, I learned the value of the double wishbone, and a proper susp setup.

Well put bbarbulo:thumbup: This cannot be stressed enough...The reaction time between you turning the wheel and your tires gripping the road in an emergency incedent makes a good shock worth all its $$ let alone the performance and ride quality is just a side effect:nods:

I justifyed the cost of new gas shocks like I did my upgraded brakes...Im protecting my investment/ time/ sweat/ My baby!!!!
