Try this first... it helped with my door speakers BIG time.

I did it the ghetto way but this is how I'd do it if I was doing it again.

Pick up some dynamat or other such quality product. I used what I had from the caddy. Not pretty.

Take your door panel off. Get some thick cardboard and cut it to the size of the huge hole in your door. Same goes for some of the smaller holes. Then tape it down. Then cover the hole damn thing in sound deadener. It made a huge huge difference with my door speakers. If you ever have to do work on the inside o your door you'll have to cut it all off but whatevs! I've got to swap doors so I'm going to try and refine what I did the first time.

If you want something simple look at the Infiniti Basslink.

Do you care about tire wear?

How aggressive do you want to go. What size sway bars do you have. I'll hook you up! I guarantee your car will handle better.

If you do it out in Salas stop by.. I want a burrito.

Doing it Watson ... Was gonna go to auto innovation but they charge 90$ to install my tires...and 100 for alignment .. I don't mind paying 100 for the alignment but 90 for the tire install was way to high for me.. That's 190. Calderons will do the custom alignment and tire install for 100...plus I save the money in gas from driving to milpitas.. Probably like 220 going over there. My suspension is stock other then coilovers and rear camber bolts..

-1.5 up front -.5 to -1 in back

Just make sure you get more negative camber up front

Zero toe all around

Without sway bars you're gonna loose some angle in hard corners. As long as you stay on top of your rotations you won't get too much wear... rotate every 4k if you can.

Run this range, they may not be able to hit exact...

-1.5 to -1.8 up front. I personally run -1.8. When I had my plates it was much higher.
-0.5 to -0.8 in the rear. I wouldn't go anything over that.

Brian's advice is solid too. If you had sways I'd be closer to where he is. I'd run like -1.8 in the front and -1 in the rear and dial up the rear sway bar...

I'm running -1.8 in the front and -.7ish in the rear on my car with my front bar on low and my rear bar in the middle. It's pretty dialed... the harder I push it the better it works. LOL.

I need to get an alignment but my car kinda gets stuck on the rack at work haha...need some rear camber bolts too...

But I'm probably going to get new shocks or coilover soon so I'm going to wait...tires are wearing pretty evenly so I know I'm not off on toe bymuch but my camber settings are whacked out

Mine seem pretty solid right now. I'll do it again when I install my new tires. Just trying to decide if I'm going to paint my wheels while I'm doing it. Or sell them and buy Jeff's Gforces.

They're Gram light 57s. Gold. Super good shape. They're a little lower offset so they sit pretty close to the fender wells and they have a cool flat lip on them. I really like them. BUT they're 7 inches wide. I run 225's on them no problems at all so it's all good. But I really want 8 inch wheels so I can run 235/245.

But they're sick for a wagon or a pre-2002 suby. If I had a outback wagon or an RS... be perfect.

I'll snap a picture if I wash my car... which I think I might do. The seats look like a horse hide blanket.

Cool keep me in mind if you decide to sell them. I have been wanting some new wheels for a while and don't forget about my secret shift **** project if you wind up getting that white one.
