[QUOTE="turnIN, post: 10847009, member: 125251"] Thanks for the tip :beer: I can not agree more with everything you have said. The way I modify a car is to drive it, decide it's shortcoming and then improve. Modifying is about improving parts, not just changing it. The most critical part of the car is the driver. I have a long, long way to go, but I have done skip barber driving school and had some great experience on the track in my old STi, and a couple of other cars. The steering rack bushings and camber plates are great suggestions, I swapped the bushings on my Suby and liked the change, but no doubt, an aggressive alignment was the best handling mod I did to that car. I really appreciate your advice man, thank you. Absolutely, modifications should be a process over time. Each thing catering to your style of drving etc. I have driven an 08 STi w/ some nice handling mods as well as a fixed back seat for the past 3 years, but I do have some experience w/ an s2k on the street, and tracked an exige 220. All of which were better cars than I am a driver! I will definitely enjoy the car stock for a while. Tires are the only contact point between you, the car and the road, they are beyond critical. I also agree that r comps are a hindrance on building driving skill. They just cover up mistakes. A good street/track tire is the way to go. Thanks guys, I really appreciate the help. Already there are some great responses and advice. What a great community! [/QUOTE]
