I know you will!!
Off topic but I've been meaning to ask... does your username indicate that you live in Simi Valley too??

Why yes I do. Whats your opinion on the Simi Chrysler's Service Center?
BTW, I put 34 psi in my tires and its a whole different car! Amazing advice!

Well hey neighbor!! Finally someone from my town on the forum!
A few of us are getting together in my garage in the morning for a little fun with my car that I can't talk about yet but if you get this early, PM me and let me know if you'd like to join us at 10AM....I'm on the east end. If you can't make it I'm sure there will be other opportunities.

As for your question about Simi Chrysler... I'd sooner eat a bug than go there!

As soon as the R&D is done and decent kits are available with springs, bars, struts, shocks and camber, I will buy them.

I also think the tires make the car look much better.

You are welcome, SSC. The C really is a balanced, good handling car that can pound twisty mountain roads all day long with confidence.

In retrospect, given the low price of the tires, putting on the BFG KDW tires has been the best mod I have done.

Don't know how I put up with the contis for an entire year!
