Even on a non-sport, non-staggered setup it's normal. My rear tires were shot after 9k miles, although they were Falken's - POS tires.

Pretty good deal IMO what do you think?

Falken is a horrible tire - I've been suffering through since August with mine - I'm replacing next month. It's Michelin or Conti's for me.

Looks great! You should buy the center molding piece if you don't need a front license plate- I got mine for 30 bucks at the dealer -

Summer setup- worth it?

What exactly should I look for when inspecting the control arms and bushings?? When I had the car on the lift - everything looked and felt tight.
