1994-2002 [Subscribe to Daily Digest] |
I looked up the Dunlop FM901 tires on the http://www.dunloptire.com site and they sound really good. The 16" tires really make a lot of difference over the 15".
My latest changes are Koni Sport Adjustable shocks and struts along with adding the Abbott Racing polyuethane tracking control arm bushings and the Abbott Racing steering rack brace to the front suspension.
The shocks and struts just needed to be done anyway. The Abbott stuff is an expensive upgrade ($1000 installed by Scanwest) but it really makes the steering much sharper and more predictable.
