    Ill post pics, I bought the kopis with 2 new falkens on them. And i put brand new Potenzas on the back. Needless to say the potenzas are perfect still but the falkens look like baldnessssss
    I took it to the alignment shop up the road and its pefect. except for "youve got a hell of alot of camber son";) But they arent eaten on just the inside, but all the way accross evenly:?

        ya something is up. What are your toe angles like? Heck last time I ran my r-comps, and only wore the built up rubber off them.

          ill take all the flaming in stride. It was my first time at the dragon and first time driving that car on anything but "flatland".

          Eli: im not sure man, I need one of you guys to help me figure that out. Because the alignment shop said its within spec except for the camber.

            Camber by itself will not run a tire bald that fast....

            Have your alignment specs?

            My buddy got a full auto-x season AND 3 HPDEs out of a set of Hankook RS2s(similar to your Falkens)

              What bushings have not been replaced. Because a dead bushing in some locations could mean on the rack it is in spec... Hit a bump. out of spec, hit a bump back in spec :)


              Also... just getting the lines into "the green" on an alignment rack doesn't mean crap in the real world. None of the specs are inside the green on my track car and it doesn't kill tires and handles like a shifter cart!

                let me take it back tomm and get a spec sheet i can scan on here. Plus pics of the tires. I was baffled too. SCbeamer803 saw it.
                Its sad to say the least.

                OT: damn i need a rear bumper. The car looks good until you see the back lol......

                  Matt I wasn't flaming you as much as poking fun at you. Yeah its a twisty road for a first time ride through it ever. Glad you came over for the ride and next time keep in between the lines....

                  Strange what your tire wear is doing. Sounds like you have some bushings wore out if you are in specs.


                  EDIT ..... You did not have a rear bumper 6 months ago why start now ???

                      Nah its cool man, I knew you werent but it might come eventually from other members. That was my first run. And the first thoughts were "holy shit, this is why i lowered my car and did suspension mods" Because you could defintly tell it was worth it. I was just learning the reigns.

                      Im just too lazy to mod the rear plastic. I have it but im going to need a rear valance to accompany it.

                        Talk to Robert about the rear bumper mod, he has done it on his car and knows a good way to do it. And he might have a valence as well as he just parted a plastic bumper car out

                              Not sure we had it posted for several months on here. Oh well there is a chance of another run at it dec 3rd ?? I think ?? Ely posted a link where there is a group from atlanta doing it then. If not we are planning another run in the spring so come out for sure.
