@shiumai - what im most afraid off is loosing the sliding tail as that is so much fun when im going around cornes on the way from work to my house. I love the loose tail. Do you feel you have considerably more understeer now?

if that's what you want, you'd have to stick to narrower rims and tires - this setup won't work for you. grip is increased a LOT, which was what i wanted. i have not noticed more understeer - but that doesn't mean there isn't any. i'd need to go back and drive a stock setup to compare and then drive mine.
