I'm sure it won't be much of a problem with the new rubber, but the worn tires that are currently on it like to slip!

Oh, tires were delivered as I was leaving for work - just need the NB shock mounts so I can get the suspension installed. Thing bounces like a caddy over low frequency, large freeway bumps/dips.

exclusivity != superiority


I'm just hoping I don't end up having to rotate my tires after ever solo event with the open diff. Already looking to swap to Torsen... So much for budget.

Lol will do. They're pretty heavy but I love the look of Watanabes and they look great on Miatas so I couldn't pass them up. I'll likely run them for a while, didn't find anything else I liked as far...
