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.

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 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
