What size and brand tire do you have?

I have Kumho ECSTA's, 225x40x18.

I have been cleared for take-off. I will be there.

My mechanic says the stability bushigns are fine. The reason I am getting a sway in the rear-end is because of the lower profile tires. They are not hurting anything, they just allow more movement and feel to the car. My mechanic said he suggests putting in an after-market sway bar and maybe after-market bushings. He said it'll take away the comfort of the ride, but give the car stern cornering ability and eliminate the sway in the back-end. So, I guess I am looking for a good after-market sway bar for now, preferably red in color. Should I do front too if I am going to do the back? Otherwise....See you tomorrow!

AST's, ASX's ?

I have a set of AST's on my winter wheels and they make the back end of the car feel weird, my summer tires are ASX's and they feel fine.

AST's 205-50-16
ASX's 215-45-17

I really want to make this, but I wouldn't be able to make it until like 3:30, and would then have to pretty much turn right back around to make it back for work. :/

I believe the ST has a pretty decent sway bar in it already. You might just need an alinement. Guessing you haven't lowered it any, but when I lowered my focus it felt very squirly in the rear end. As soon as I alined it, it was just like new. Mine is a SES package and I belive that has the same sway bar in it as the ST *Somebody correct me if i'm wronge*

Also I am running Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 215/45-17

Correct.

Damn,
I don't think I will be able to make it my car is getting a complete detail and touchup of the rustproofing and undercoating this a.m. which takes 4 plus hours so by the time I get done and home it will be around 1:00 and then another hour and a half back to the mall from home.
Dammit...

Just so everyone knows, if it's nice when we get there I think we'll be all the way up on the top deck so if we aren't where you thought we'd be check the very top level if the weather is good.

ScottyK · Sat Apr 25, 2009 7:54 am

I'll be leaving Duluth in about 25 minutes or so. See everyone there.
