Get your rear camber/castor/toe corrected Steve. No excuses for uneven tyre wear

[Tocchi]

LOL. deans allowed to comment, cos he has symmetrical even tyre wear on his rears

[discostig]

Yeah I'm looking at suspension upgrades in the near future, hoping to get nice even wear. The tyres are pretty low on tread anyway, I've had em on for a good year and a half, they are the first set I replaced, and I've put 60000ks on the thing so it's been a happy partnership.

Been meaning to get alignment done for ages too, WA suspensions probably unless someone has a strong recommendation otherwise.

[Guest Slash]

60,000kms? I'd be happy with 6,000kms, but I'm still way off that figure

[tinyplums]

I`d recommend wilkinson suspensions, done a fanstic job on all of my cars and competitively priced.

[Grug]

How much the Kumhos run you Steve?

[xr6t ego]

+1 for Wilkinson suspension. They sorted my car out for a good price and the service was pretty good aswell.

[arronm]

Ive been using wilkinson for over 20 years. Best job at a great price

[discostig]

Wow that's a good talking up for Wilkinsons. Guess I'll be making enquiries!

As for the KU31's Grug:

Hi Steven

235/45/17 KU31 $124each

Freight = Pair $60 Set $115

Delivery to you is 5-7 business days

I got quoted $175ea at KMart, not sure if that was fitted. Rough price for fitting and balance is $35 odd I think for a pair? Also hassling Hiro about the Federals he sells though I'm happy with the Kumho KU31s so unless the Federals are way better grip and comparable life I probably won't change.

Also, I spotted a blue B series ute, I think FPV, with a blue XFT sticker across the front windscreen parked up on the side of McCouy St in Myaree today, was that you John?

[discostig]

Karl has advised that the 595EVOs are better grip than the KU31's. Might use 31's for the fronts from now on and 595's for the rears...we'll see. If only I lived on the east coast I'd save loads on delivery from these mobs!

I have my gauges put together, extention wire leads soldered, now just need to get time to cut into my BOV vac line (?) to fit the T-Piece and connect the gauges to the cars wiring. Hunting a new sandwhich plate I think as the one I bought is designed for remote mount filter/cooler setup which I don't have...live and learn!

Still wondering about painting my stocko 17's a shiny black to go with soon-to-be new feeling car.

Should do my tax and buy some new suspension!! So slack.
