[QUOTE="GT Premi, post: 15043965, member: 121775"] Thanks, guys!! That's some very helpful info that I will put to good use for sure. Concerning tires and tire pressures, I have Continental Extreme Contact tires on all four corners; 255/35F 285/35R. Before that drive, I reduced the pressures from the factory recommended 35psi all around to about 32psi front and 31psi rear. I found that 35psi makes the care feel... "light" is the best word I have to describe it, when entering corners. Almost like there's not enough grip anywhere to keep from drifting wide off the road or entering into an oversteer situation. The little mountain roads I like to drive on don't allow for that kind of margin of error going into a turn. 35psi is fine for most of the freeway on-ramps around here because they're sweepers with a wide enough berth to allow for a slight drift and time for correction. My best handling has actually been on even lower pressures [on hot days]; something like 29psi rear and 31psi front. But that was before the adjustable LCAs, sway bars and end links. With the cooler temps rolling in, I think I'll soften up the front bar and put the pressures back to factory spec and see how that goes for a while. If you guys have anymore suggestions, I'm all ears. [/QUOTE]
