LOL..any 90's boosted car is always a work in progress. I think I fix something on my Z32 once every other month.

Yep, and I still miss it. I have not worked on a car since I sold her.

Here is a link with some info and a story on my old car

John Gibson's "Jerggy13" 92 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4 - 3SI Wiki

Jerggy13

I still looking at conti dw's for a little over a grand at tire rack. I have a guy who gets a bit of a discount from then and he'll give me his cost. So it should help a bit...

I hate buying tires.....lol

Hopefully I'll have my springs and spacers before I need tires so I can do one alignment with all the new stuff

FWIW....

A couple of years ago, I replaced the worn-out, summer-only high performance OEM Goodyear Eagle F1's on my wife's Pontiac Solstice GXP with Conti DWS's. Not the DW's, the DWS's. It was her DD, we live in central Illinois, and so we wanted something that might stand chance in the snow.

The DWS's were far quieter than the (admittedly worn out) F1's, the ride quality improved, dry cold performance was much better (F1's were hockey pucks in the cold), hydroplane resistance was phenomenal (F1's were spooky...), and ground clearance was the only limiting factor for driving in the snow. The only drawback was warm/dry handling; the DWS's weren't quite as crisp as the F1's in spirited driving situations. No traction issues, but slightly more sidewall flex that you could feel on turn-in. My wife couldn't tell the difference, but I could. We traded in the GXP 15k miles later (car was falling apart at 45k miles...), and the treads still looked great. Considering they made the car a much nicer DD, with the bonus of actual usability in light snow, it was money well spent.

Anyway... when the stock Advan's wear out on my Z, I will likely replace them with DWS's because my Z is my DD, even in winter. But I'd definitely consider the DW's as a summer-only replacement based on my experience with the DWS's.

Good luck!

When ever you need an alignment you can bring it to me to do

How often should one's Z get an alignment?

Augustus...
Thanks for the review. My Z is a daily driver too unless the weather is that bad then I just grab my parent surburban they never drive. I know winters been light in stl this year so I've driven on summer rubber all wonter(I know not the best). I'm looking forward to the conti's now

I'm looking at 255/35/19 front 285/35/19 in rear with a 15mm fr/20mm rear spacer set up. And swift springs
Any thoughts?

White370j. Where is your shop? I just might have to give you a buzz when I get everything. What do you think about the above setup?
I'm a little worried it won't align wth out adjustable cambers...

white370j

When ever you do suspension work and at least 2 a year

Hmmm. Pardon my ignorance... twice a year for every sort of vehicle or just Z's in particular?

My Z is the first higher-performance RWD car I've ever owned, so I would expect that it would get a little more TLC than an Accord. And I totally understand the need for an alignment after suspension changes or if you hit a big pothole or something. But twice a year for normal wear-and-tear?

Historically, I get my cars alignment checked when I buy new tires. Perhaps this is a mistake on my part! I've never had a shop comment that I was out of alignment over the normal ~40-50k range that all-season's seem to last. Maybe all this time I could have been getting 80K out of them!

So discounted alignments for Z's at your shop? I'm there!
