Oh I think we are agreeing in principle; I just want to expand the conversation.  Tire talk has been beat to death over the years - we need to take it up a level like Jason did earlier this year.

This is why I started doing all the work to the rear suspension in our wagon - to better explore our options on this platform.

I'm looking forward to the s60 install on the wagon.
I got turned on to some offset bushings i want to try and am searching for a cheap atr rear bar.

I guess I didn't understand that the 9" slick isn't hooking.

I'm no expert on this, and this may be common knowledge, but i wish I would have started my suspension in this sequence:


Set ride height, springs or adjustable like the QA1's
Wheel/tire selection
[/size]Upgrade the brakes front and rear so you can stop and hold some boost at the lineYour choice of rear UCA front adjustable relocation brackets ( I used the baseline brackets )Your choice of adjustable UCA ( I used the baseline UCA )Your choice of boxed LCA.  Nothing wrong with boxing the stockersRear LCA adjustable brackets mounted to the axle.  Poly bushings all around.  I didn't install the offset bushing in the axleYour choice of rear stabilizer bar like the hellwig design.

With the adjustability of the UCA, you can center the axle, set pinion angle and add preload to the right tire. With the adjustability of mounting locations for both the front UCA and the rear LCA, you'll be able to nail the instant center and adjust for squat.  From there you can play with weight as in moving it around the car to see what will give you the best results.

Again, no expert and my thoughts may be flawed[/font]
