Do you have the front and rear set the same or different? Thanks,

Two things. first of all, the sweet spot for me was five clicks from the tightest on the rear, 7 on the front. I'm running 18's staggered, but that hit it for me. Another thing is strut tower bars. I REALLY felt the best combination when I installed the rear and front tower bars. you can pick them up for about $125 at www.upgrademotoring.com, www.l-tunedparts, or some other west distribution shops.
