You have basically the same setup as me, just I have sportmax 006's. When you get the tires and stuff mounted would you do me a favour and reply back in this thread if the car-steering wheel swayed back and forth? On the freeway at 100km/h, my steering wheel sways and I figured it was due to the bigger tires and rims. I guess the comparison is impossible if your not running the same tires as me, I have the falken 452 225/45/17.

I'm not getting those exact tires, but I'll definitely give you my review. Maybe your tie rod ends are going bad, did you have them aligned and balanced?

Yeah I know I need to drop it like its hot, but I dont have the funds right now. Hopefully by the end of summer I'll have some coilovers. I'm looking at K-Sports, but the EDFC for the Tein is rather convinient. Any suggestions? (It's daily driven and drifted about once a month at open practice.)

And thanks Blkdragn, you can't beat a good deal on tires. Have any pictures of your setup?
