my car is a cadillac again..

actually I really can't tell the difference between the 22mm and stock 16mm rear swaybar while driving unless I really push it dragon style. The car does go over bumpy roads much better now.

Auto-X with DWS.... FAIL. I know know what summer tires do for you. UGH! The DWS cost me 2-3 seconds for every 30 seconds. On top of that, the car was squirrelly and the cornering was slick;had the back end come out on me a couple of times. UGH. I have to buy a set of lightweight wheels and a set of star specs. I'll just have to deal with this until spring as not really worth it so latte in the season

I figured dry cornering wasn't their best area, still don't know if I wanna get those or true winter tires, I don't know if I'm gonna be in PA by the time winter comes, the job search is continuing.

for daily driver, the DWS are amazing. when you drive like a race car, the DWS are noisy and can't hold. Now I say this while the tires are real new. They had maybe 60 miles on them when I started to race. I suspect they will get better when they get scuffed up more.

crikey Keith, you won't have anything left by the time the snow starts falling. Tires really do make all the difference, actually I was thinking that even with the stock rear bar I would've still been rippin around the dragon the same way.

exhaust & swaybar are pretty much sold! :woot:

time for tires soon
nice. quick sales are the best.
For all seasons, go with the Conti DWS, they are the best. I used to say Goodyear TripleTred, but they were redesigned in the last year or two and the reviews are not as great as they used to be.

Im gonna order the dws tonight, read the snow traction is nearly as good as a true winter tire.

Mmm. Turtle omeletes served on boobies with a latte.

I've been MIA around here. No time anymore. The dragon marked the end of the car season for me. School is now on in full force and will have me booked up. The endlinks are off the car and going up for sale.

Na. I put my stockers back on for now. They will be fine through the winter here in the flatlands. When it comes time to drive hard and fun again I will get some. We are back on the housing market, so saving every penny I can right now.
