hey, i got rid of the run craps. that made a slight diff, but not as much as i want, so i think i'm going to buy the qa1's. will it really make that much of a difference? i want to absorb the rear impact. i think i'll just do the rears to start.

In my opinion, the Michelin Pilot Sports are hard to beat. Good tire on a wet road too!!

They are not run flats, get yourself a compressor and plug kit to go with the tires!!!!

Absolutely because you can set them for the desired ride.

i just replaced the rear stock shocks with QA1's. in doing so, the old shocks with the sensor wire had to be removed. now the shock malfunction indicator comes on and i cannot go more than 80MPH. what can i do about this?
