Ok i've heared everyone talk about how for about 2 grand you can drastically improve the handling of your vehicle... well I saved up a little more than that and I have a stock ST that I'd like to fix up in terms of handling... so what should I do? i already hav a CF hood making the car a little lighter but can anyone point me in the right direction as to what else i should look to buy or do?

If you buy your tires from Discount Tire (if you have one in the area) they will unmount and rotate directional tires for free if you have the road hazard package on the tires which is like $15 when you buy the tire. Gotta love it.

"Hmm. Ask him if he's the dragon reborn." "What?" "Just do it." ".......He said yes." "Tell him you are not darklings. He should open up." ".......Sweet. Thanks." "No problem." |

Gotta love it. yeah, that's where I work. and I've only ever flipped a tire for a rotation once and it was for a big truck and we charged him like $75 for it. it's possible that they'll tell you they will, and then just rotate them front to back and tell you they flipped them. the salesman are sneaky and only care about you if you're giving them money. I could care less if a car wanted their tires flipped, I get paid by the hour, not on commission.
