DWS's are amazing for jack of all trades tires. i run them on my dd. light snow? no problem!! where most a/s tire would turn into junk-falken ice skates. lol

The two degrees of camber showed. The inner half of the tire was smooth and into the belts at the edge.

They worked fine until a drop of moisture appeared, and we just had 20 inches of rain and it was terrible.

First time ever in memory that I replaced my rears first. On my 300ZX I replaced fronts twice for every rear. This car has managed to fill my nostrils on a few occasions with the smell of tires. My own fault for never buying a muscle car, until now.

I think that is just the stock spring removed. There is a thread on this forum where you can get the spring. Or you can just PM LMBmikeZ for one

We did Valentines last night and had a splendid dinner. Then a confident drive back and forth on the new rears.
