Ha yeah i do, ill wait awhile though cause getting wheels isnt just "getting wheels" i have to also buy the rubber for them and thats alot of money to spend on something that not everyone will notice so im goign to wait till i see something timeless as far as the style of wheels.

As for my excessive Toe issue, im going to try to trim off some material from the ecentric washers to give me less + toe and more negative... I dont like the way the rear end reacts to bumps in the road as a result of the excessive + toe. The rear end will have a shimmy or wiggle when one wheel hits a bump...

for instance, the drivers side rear wheel hits a bump, the rear will sway to the left what feels to be about a half inch, then as the driver side wheel comes back to flat level road, the the rear-end will sway back about half an inch or less. and vis-versa if the Passenger rear wheel hits a bump.

So what ill do is trim some material off of the shortest end of the ecentric washers to get me closer to acceptible toe range.

However i can just shorten the length of my rear Track-arms and that would pull the away the + toe i have but damn, its a Bit** breaking loose those lock nuts on the Track-arm.

Ok well i re-aligned my 986 yesterday, it came out good, I ended up shortening the length of the Upper Control Arm (Track Arms) to pull the Hub further away from the Toe-arm, thus getting rid of that excessive positive toe and the rear-end shimmy i would get while driving over bumps...

I had trouble getting the front toe to match cause any adjustment i would make to the left side would change the right side alittle so i left it alone after 3 good tries.

CJ -

for sways, if you're car is primarily a street car, get the M030 S front and M030 base rear. it's almost zero sacrifice on comfort and a HECK of a difference from a drivability standpoint.

for a street car, the GT3 bar is a bit stiff, as are the H&R. the Eibachs are nearly identical to the M030, but cost twice as much. the factory stuff yields the most bang for the buck.

I dont mind the extra stiffness just as long as it doesnt cause the front end to to bounce all over the place... Will the GT3RS do that?


EDIT: I take that first sentence back.... I want to feel like im in a GT Cup car... even in the streets, I know while the comfort levels will drop with that GT3RS sway bar but to me it'll pale in compairison to how great it feels to take a hard corner with relatively little body roll.
