Don't misunderstand me, on flat surface the car feels like it is going
sideways because of zero bodyroll (It is not the tires who is loosing the
grips)

The reason that I almost ended up in the ditch, was that the car darted
around because of a bump in the road.

They look cool, the roll over bar and the 26R flares makes the car a bit
more agressive looking.(I will see if i can scan an photo and put out on
the web sometime.)The PO planed to race the car(thats why it has the
current setup) but he got a kid, an had not the time(money?) for it.

We also need the 70 profiles to gear the car up a bit(It has got a
lower diff ratio(i do not remember the ratio).
