Yes. I had my last set of fronts swapped round because the insides had taken such a pounding. Too many motorway miles probably.

Same here, I did about 4000 miles and 5 track days in total total. Rear tyres have 4mm left now (from 8mm) so if it means I can do another 3000 miles and 3 track days with them I'm well pleased.
Although I'll probably do all those 3000 miles on my Italy trip in June....

Just got the car back from the boys at WiM. I am liking the lack of bumpsteer - easy to test on roads as wet as they are today, no skips when putting one rear wheel over a manhole cover.
Having correct geo is also helping a bit I suspect. After the new fuel tank was fitted, the rear geo was not reset, so I had:
REAR:
Camber -1°26' -1°18'
Toe 0°37' 1°02'
Total Toe 1°39'

I had my original toe arms polybushed by Chris F many years ago, and the car was relatively bump steer free after that. Got my brand new OEM items as part of my refresh late last year, and even with proper geo, the bumpsteer I'd forgotten about was back.
The Hardrace items I have came up at a bargain price on here, so I thought "why not?", and here we are. Apparently, they only just fit with one arrangement of the shims. Got a bit of a drive to do this evening, so will see how it goes.
