My front alignment is hosed. No wonder I was drifting around VIR and my top end blew. I put my Star Specs on, in order to prepare for my V A inspection, and found the left front chewed up on the inside, possibly more than normal. The right front had an even wear. I think the right front is the problem.
SP T 3 gravel trap, most likely.

Oleg's splitter looks great. Order with confidence.
I went with Innovative 75A from ebay. $299 and 2 day delivery. Haven't installed them yet so no comment on vibration.
New engine mounts (suggestions?)

I have the 75A Innovatives as well and if I were to do it again, I would probably try the Hard Race ones. I originally got the 60A Innovatives and they started deforming after a couple of months, so yea don't get those. The hard race have the same design as OEM just harder I think.

Edit: these? http://www.jhpusa.com/store/pc/viewP...ry=260#details They are rated at 150% stiffer than stock. What is the rating for your 75A? I was thinking of getting the mounts one step stiffer than the 75A.

Yea those are the ones. The innovate are a different design, so I'm not sure what they are in relation to stock, but they vibrate the inside and increase NVH a lot. I would never recommend them for a daily driver.

Yep. 118 or so. That could be wing, but it looks level.
