no no, what im saying is they are NOT the best FWD cars.



everyone simply hypes them up to be something great.
Then what is?



I am not going by what I hear some riceboys explain, but rather mags and road tests...



*I only know so much, being I hate/don't spend much time on FWD Cars and Honda/Acura's at that...*

Just seems like a waste of money. Throwing away 400 bucks in tires.

I wanna get stickier tires but i've been told to learno n street tires becuase you learn to appreciate grip better and you laern traction limits better.



Still, i have no clue why the previous owner bought freaking all-seasons.
Reason #1: Economy.. their cheaper

#2: their quieter.. some people don't like louder tires

#3: They last a helluva lot longer than ZR rated tires.. some people can't afford to shell out a minimum of 130 a tire... hell I had Sumitomo HRTZ's 205/50/ZR16's on my Focus ZX3 and they barely lasted 15000 miles...

If you spend 200 per tire... assuming its for an RX7.. you'd better get a damn decent tire or you're getting jacked... and not the good way either

and who are you?





you have a starion...and a neon



your opinion of the cars has no point as we are talking about suspension....



you say the 240 is a POS because the engine and seats...and thats why it handles bad
I'm Mike...what about you?



Yes, currently I have a Starion and a Neon, but I owned an s13 hatch, and I hated it. It had some eibach springs and kyb struts and it still sucked *** in the twisties.



If you didn't have the reading comprehension skills of a 2 year old, then mabe you would have understood the complete post, and saw that I wasn't commenting on the suspension, but on the car as a whole. I spoke of the engine, the interior, and my opinion on the car as a whole. I'm sorry you felt butthurt by my post against the 240sx.



Thank you, come again.
