Of course, he is lowered with Neuspeed springs at least 1.5" all around.
YMMV.

I had the Yoko's put on today. They ride a little noisier than the standard Michelins. Alot of traffic here today, so I couldn't really try them out yet. I guess the friggin' snow birds are arriving now. Damn it. I might as well leave the car in the garage till next may. I might do better with a skate board like the teeny gangbangers use.

You're the first person to mention an alignment problem. I am having the problem so bad that I have to have it aligned each time I have the oil changed. I've had both front and rear camber kits installed and it's still a problem. Did they tell you what was causing the problem? Would chaning tires help?

They only get 25 laps or so with shaved Toyo T1S tires in the Speedvision GT/Touring car series... If you drive hard enough or have enough negative camber, anything is possible!

Factory stock tires
Computech Springs front and back (installed by the dealer)
Computech Camber kits front and back (installed by the dealer)
40,000 on the odometer
I need to find a shop (although I don't know in Phoenix) that could look at the car and give me a second opinion.
I don't ride the car very hard but I don't want to mess with it (really fun, huh).

Do you understand the words that are coming out of my mouth "MICHELIN PILOT SPORT ALL/ SEASON" . It performs better than stock in almost every aspect: better in the turns casue they're Z rated stronger sidewalls without comprimising ride, extremly quiet compared to Toyos, they meet the weight requirement which is 93 or above, treadwear is 400 as compared to stock 300, even though they are 235/45 they are not wide like Toyos which is good in a dropped car cause of rubbing issues. I have mine on SSR GT1 which are 7.5 wide and the tire fits on it perfectly I think a 8" wide would be too wide, 7" I don't see it being a problem. Best $200 you will be spending on the car.
The only thing I don't know is the weight of the tire compared to stock but I think stock would be slightly lighter.
