Elites are pretty good all the time for tyres.

I will be having some suspension mods next time there is a group buy though

This was going to be the first mod after repairs, as have different set of wheels to go on.

Is it worth doing as a mod on its own? or is it a compliment to springs

Whwn I had mine done on the blob eye I also had eibachs fitted at the same time and the difference was amazing.

Might be looking at a complete suspension set up this time.

All they do is align your wheels & change the camber settings cost me about £80 at Ellite.

When you say handling, does this include a reduction in understeer?

Mind you new tyres will prob help with this

my car still has the standard JDM suspension, which I've found to be slightly stiffer than UK cars, and I love they way it handles
