LOL.. Yea in person looks way better IMO.. these are shots of my phone. I plan to change wheel setup eventually just got bored and throw on the rest of the spacers to match the aggressive front a bit more. Thanks for the advice. I'm not planning on touchn fenders maybe swapping for new wheels down the road.

You guys gotta stuff more width up front

Curious...I assume a (Front) 265/35/19 and (Rear) 285/35/19 would fit on the stock sport 19's with Swift springs?

[Kingbaby]

Yes

So I got Michelin Pilot Sport PS2's...

Front - 265/35/19
Rear - 285/35/19

Wheels: stock sport package
Suspension: Swift, SPL rear camber and toe bolts, stock shocks.

Issue: I noticed the car definatly has more bite in the front when cornering but in a strait line it is a bit unstable. In other words the slightest input given to change lanes and the car wants to fly into the next lane. I know this is because of the plus sized tire in the front and I can control it just fine but I wonder if adjusting the suspension would help cure this condition. Ultimately my goal is better handling all around with an emphasis on cornering. Just wondering if you all had suggestions??

sometimes you just need some time to get used to. maybe you are running too much psi. however lane changing wont teell you that much on how a car will handle at the limit. Ps2 tires have great steering response.
Also if the only thing you have changed to copare before is tires, then the tires it is. Again play around with psi and maybe aling some toe in to make the nose of the car more closed

Well, I've been driving it this way for about 4,000 + miles now. I will ammend my initial comment by saying the issue is not just lane changing. In a strait line it also has a tendency to wonder a bit. Steering wheel is rock solid and nothing is lose in suspension that I know of. I just feel I need to apply to much steering input to counter the wondering while driving at almost any speeds. Again it is not a huge deal but its noticeable.

PSI is about 35 all around. I've used the shoe polish method during autocross and tire preasure is spot on or I'm not driving hard enough...one of the two.

What do you mean by "...the nose of the car more closed"?

Thanks for the help!

if you have your before and after alignment specs that would help. You could be running TOO MUCH toe causing the car to drift or hug the rain gutters when changing lanes. I have almost NO toe on my tires due to the fact that I don't track my car and try to eek out ever mm of tread out of my tires. I would get a alignment check on it and have that adjusted. Also mic your tires and track where the wear pattern is. Hopefully this helps.
