Put some decent rubber on it. If you want something sticky and cheap, the Hankooks RS-2's look mighty good.
Once you have your ride height established, have a full alignment by competent techs. It will bring out it's best handling abilities. Have fun. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) .. |

You might also consider having it corner balanced. Not critical for a streeter, but nice to have it sitting properly. Most of all, DRIVE IT!!!

those should be good street tires. go wear them out. then spring for new ones. your car is going to handle great.

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/agree.gif) Like he says. I didn't notice you had listed your tires. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) The 19mm bar will be nice. You could go to just a "little" stiffer rear springs - 120ish - might have a better balance. .. |
