Great tires for racing, but if you want something to last those are not the best choice...i think those tires will give you roughly15k miles

I think so...the 452s would be a better bet for you, still good for racing (I raced with them and they handled nicely), if properly rotated and such, I would say more upwards of at least 20-25k but i would check on it....

ive gone 70 in the rain on the 452.. only when i hit a larger puddle did i encounter a small issue but nothing a little over steer couldnt fix.. it was also a deep puddle.. on average.. even at 5- mph.. the 452's did a good job...

true... so what did you guys think about the alignment question before... id hate to get it aligned and find that i still have nasty oversteer and have to adjust my height. or should i adjust the height then get the alignment?

I say, adjust the height, then get it aligned.

We can have a "Coilover Adjustment Party"

wowowow^^

Dude get your alignment, are you having any rubbing issues??

When you get your alignment, remember they dont just make the car go in a straight line, toe, caster, camber, etc. is adjusting which can be causing the problem...
The lowering of the car really drastically affects camber....having the toe adjustment outta wack could be causing the bumpsteer...

But I could be wrong tho, im the newbie round these parts, lol
