You should jack your front pressure up to 38 / 40 PSI, it will reduce that edge wear. In addition, if it does a bunch of short trips, toe it in slight amount. Remember; techs only put the car to spec which may not work for all situations so you adjust to your style and use which means toe it in a slight amount from where it is what ever that number is.

Exactly! As a rule of thumb, I've always had my tires set to 4-5 psi above recommended because it does reduce the edge wear like you said and also gives you better ride comfort and handling. The tires certainly can handle the bump😁

Last I looked, max PSI is like 55.
That said, I run the rears at 33/34 as they blow the centers out at 36 with a few spins here and there.

I'll definitely try out the 38/40 psi suggestion. Feedback from RedSpencer that I used during my last alignment was zero'ing the toe in the front all together which they did.

Zero is a good baseline. If you still have inner wear at 38/40, tell them to toe it in.
Been a while, just been messing around with my Z with headers a tune and etc recently but the IS is getting a small upgrade as well.
Finally pulling the trigger on the rr racing rear BBK to replace these pos calipers I've been having trouble with for years. With the exchange rate at its most favorable in a long time, and my calipers seizing again, it was a good time to sort out the IS.
Will update the thread again when I install them. Hopefully no more spongy brakes for once and for all
Rear BBK installed and I finally have my brake feel back. No more seized calipers from now on hopefully. As advertised they even clear my winter 17s! Starting to love the car again.
Before anyone comments, I did not do the fronts and so far under regular street braking there hasn't been any irregular handling. I'll figure out what I want to do with the fronts, maybe upgrade to 350 brakes to still fit under 17s or leave it. Haven't felt a difference in bias yet. Going by the logic that BBKs don't make your car stop faster, just better at more even pad contact and heat dissipation among other benefits I think I should be okay.
finally got a chance to replace my leaking Y pipe and replace a bunch of exhaust gaskets as well as get rid of my CELs once and for all! Seems like the ECU fault codes after I replaced the driver side bank 1 sensor 2 o2 sensor was for the passenger side bank 2 sensor 2. At this point the car feels like new again and I've fallen back in love with it. I think I'll get the aesthetics fixed up in the coming years now
Latest mod, switching back to OEM housings as my Spec D's have been leaking terribly and I haven't gotten around to resealing them. Gives me a chance to try out these highly rated Morimoto 2 Stroke 3.0 LED bulbs. I got to say they really live up to their hype. The hot spot doesn't seem as intense as my MLED 1.0 retrofit but the light output and spread is much better throughout the range. I miss the crispy blue cutoff the MLED has though since I put these bulbs into my OEM projectors. Don't worry I won't switch the high beam to LEDs since it's a reflector type.

What specific exhaust is that?
