Check out my wheels...
They're 18x8 inch TSW rims with 225/40/zr18 wrappings. I finally got new tires for them (had them a while, haven't had tires) and love the way they look. I have a few things I'd love to do to the car, but want to get it running a little better first.
Hence my post.
I was planning on getting the suspension kit from FCPGroton that replaces all the suspension components except shocks and springs. Has anyone had any luck? I want to have a nice solid ride as far as shocks and springs, not too low, but not too high, not too soft, but not too hard... you get what I'm saying. I'd love to hear experiences with different brands.
Secondly, when I got the tires put on, I also put on new brake pads and brand new rotors all around. Yes, my ABS light is on and off (getting that fixed), but MY BRAKES STILL SHAKE at high speed!!!! They even shake at low speed, just at a much slower rate... Is it the ABS!??!? I'm so frustrated after new pads, rotors, and shoes and it's still doing this.
Copy and paste the links--I don't really know how to post pix... :(
