Re: john thomas 86 honda civic, tom lombardo solo2 national champ (Killa-X)

You can take Evolution Driving school, JT is one of the instructors. Depending on location and time he may or may not be teaching. You can learn from the master himself.

Re: First Kosei K1 cracking I've heard of. Funny topic too (ryan12321)

17's with the rubber bands called tires, don't provide much protection from potholes, curbs, etc. Most racers I know would trash the cracked wheels and not look back.

Re: airbag suspension (B18EG6)

Lawn tractor tire or inner tube
bicycle inner tube wrapped in a coil

If it doesn't have to lift much weight make something out of leather like vinyl.

Re: tire rubbing in the front (jaydmdc2)

Something is bent, broken, weak or installed wrong.

Whats the offset on the wheels? Lowering may have caused a wheel with a wrong offset to start causing problems.

Re: More body roll & less steering response after new 'wider' tires (eeediot)

I have the 512's for winter/all season tires. The sidewalls are pretty soft, which will cause the tire to deform rather than give nice crisp steering feel.

They do well for daily driver use, but...
