7 each Hankook Ventus RSS 205/50/15 - $120 for all.
C30 road race compound.
All seven tires have good remaining tread, and appear to be in great condition

I need someone with Suspension experience.
I get that annoying tire squeal in slight turns, is that due to camber being wrong, or height not being the same on all four corners. I have Adjustable control arms on, It seems like it's also not responding to steering very well. It also follows its own pull. Like if I let the wheel go, it will either grab left or right and just keep going that direction. when before it would always try and return to straight.

All i did was change camber and lower the rears slightly. hence why i am asking, if it sounds like camber, its a easy fix.

What is your camber at right now? Do you get tire squeel with throttle on comming out or turns? How low is your car and what kind of tires do you have?

New rig shots of my sol comming soon

I remember the last time someone said that to me.

The kid had a 90's VW Jetta. (140BHP on this particular one... that's all I remember because I looked it up when I got home... I don't remember the trim level or whatever).

HIM: "yea I got headers (LOL, yea right, more than one, buddy), intake manifold, exhaust".

ME: I asked him to let me see

HIM: "Naw man, you don't let people see what's under your hood."

ME: "Yea, you don't lie and then prove that you're lying".

Just turning the wheel, any speed, only in turns. Its about 2.5 inches lower then stock, stocky tires and the camber is slight less then factory.

Word, wish I was going this year. I was supposed to go in the Civic, but we see how that worked out.

Next year in the Sol though, going to run proper.

I'll be watching though...
