FWD? No thanks.
Although I think I would be happier in a FWD with good steering feel over a RWD with numb steering. The more cars I test drive in this search the more I realize how important...

Getting back to the topic of convertibles, I think I'll be going with an automatic (due to various reasons, chief of them being able to keep the BRZ). This also expands the possibilities quite a bit....

Numb steering is a big turn off, and all reviews seem to agree that the Fxx BMWs are among the worst. I haven't test driven one to confirm, but after my test drive of a Mustang (that again all...

You and I have a very different definition of "recent".

For sure, the Mustang was the better car than the Camaro (by quite a margin). If the steering had some feel I might have went with it, but it was completely dead.
The ideal pony car for me would be...

Nice. I'll probably won't swing it for an M3, but an E93 is also on the radar. I do prefer the smaller and lighter E88 on paper (haven't driven either yet).

They run the buy 3 get 1 free deal all the time, no need to feel pressured. When I ordered my ECF last year I emailed them to check date codes and they asked me if I needed a code for the deal.

I would agree that wheel size isn't different enough to explain the issue (unless they are extremely heavy wheels or something). Do you have the full alignment printout, especially the "before"?

Don't forget that the bolts holding the aluminum skid plate that have a 12 mm head are the right size to thread into the rotors to push them off the hub.
