Cool setup. Get more traction.

I can't afford wider / better tires yet lol. 265 federals can only do so much against 500 wheel

Take advantage of our Kenda Program!!!

Unfortunately that's more expensive than what I paid for the Feds
$107/ea for 265/35/18

Shipped or did you purchase locally? Because the Kenda price includes shipping and tax. I still feel you should at least try out the Kendas :)

Yea that was shipped. I'm down to drive on some Kendas and try them out for sure though. I'll buy some next time I get tires. Thanks for the info guys. Too bad they don't make wider than 265 in an 18" wheel though. I could use a 275/35 or 285/30, 295/30, etc. It seems pretty much every tire gets crazy expensive after 265 though :(

getting schooled by mario and fielding at rd 5, with my fubar'd euro 6 speed box giving up. Working on a dog box but dunno when it'll be done.. hopefully in time for rd 1 2013 :)



Also, I think I have TOO much front grip because my car loves to swing to big angle immediately. How do I dial out front grip? I'm still a noob at drift suspension tuning as I'm a former track guy dealie and it's all different. More front bar?

I'm at -4.5 F, -.25 R, 0 front toe, .20* toe-in R, stock M3 front sway bar (I think it's 20mm or 22mm can't remember), no rear bar. 670/890 spring rates (too stiff in the rear from what I've heard. Not true coilover in rear so wheel rate is more like 500-600) Suspension gurus, halp. Need more understeer so I can get on the throttle more and have the car go forward, not sideways.
