I have about 1000 miles on them(with grippy tires) and drive my car like I stole it,plus I did my own alignment so tightening the upper ball joint correctly was not an issue I'm not doubting that some people have had a problem but maybe the person tightening the nut may want to think outside the box to achieve what needs to be done.

I'm just saying.:hello:

Yes I'm do and they may not fall into your category of sticky,but being a 30 series in the front and 25 in the back it is to short for side wall flex and these tires are alot better than people on this forum give them credit for.

yeah, but not even close to the realm of what I'm talking about. Of course you won't be slipping the adjustment running 20" v12s...

These tires are rated 8.7 dry traction,I forgot that all you guys think that the most expensive tire is the most sticky and you being 21 have drove on every set of tire to confirm that the Hankook V12's aren't as sticky as "more expensive tires.

the reason the upper ball joint slips under pressure is a design flaw and I knew about this when I did my alignment ,so I was able to fix SPC flaw that's why is doesn't slip,and it can't move or slip regardless of what wheels or tires are on my car whether it be my track 18in or my show 20in. :tiphat:

got pics of your fix to contribute to the rest of the forum? I know there are a lot of people that would love to follow suit.

No need to get all defensive and get your panties in a bunch over the fact that the v12 isn't a competition tire (which is what most people that need a front camber kit will run)...it's not even in the realm of re11's or azeni's...or whatever other aggressive street tires we run.

Not sure what me being young has to do with it...but yes, I've probably got more experience with different tires than you do.

The flaw I fixed is a adjustable shim that fits in the space where the ball joint resides and when adjusted to your liking tighten the nut to spec and leave it be.

Most people including you,me and probably 80% of this forum if given a car completely set up properly could not use it to it's full potential,hence searching for the stickiest tires are irrelevant.

full potential? no, but I do compete at a level where running a sticky tire is important and beneficial.

I have the SPC and they do slip sometimes, mostly on tracks with nasty transitions such as SP Shenandoah, NHMS and probably any other oval track with a road coarse. I think on smooth tracks it holds okay.

I use 100TW or 30TW tires.

Is there enough room in the grooves of the SPC adjustment to put two more bolts in there to hold your setting? (think...sandwiching the main bolt with one more smaller one on each side for support)

I saw slip on the SPLs just autocrossing on v710s...

Interesting concept, it will be something I have to look into. I would just tack weld it to the desired setting but the metals are dissimilar. Note that the lock bolt never loosens up, it just slips in the grove.

you can now remove me from the 'zero issues' column.
