Always take your new car in for a wheel alignment before 1000k, or after the dealers do any suspension work. Surely with $400 tyres, you'd be crazy not to It has just cost Snoopy two front tyres

Can't agree more. Also be careful who you use. Found that the tyre centre used by my dealer is hopeless. Had what I thought was the "Left Pull" problem, turns out I had half a degree of toe OUT on the front (found once I took it to someone who knew what they were doing).

As for why you'd mod such a stunning suspension package, all I can say is that after the mods my new suspension makes SS+ feel soft and floaty! (Heaps more turn in and mid corner grip too!)
