It might be the Nitto Motivos the previous owner put on, they suck in the rain, or at least lose their grip easier than I would like.

- Speedometer off by 4%
- Stability control (including competition mode) and ABS wheel speed feedback would be off. I guess the rev / mile difference would be a simlar change front to rear so maybe this is not that big of a deal if you're not exploring the limits of the car.
I'm surprised to you're finding the stock setup harsh. I have a 1SS with the base suspension (ie. non-MRC) and find it to be comfortable and well damped. Harsh is not a word I'd use to describe it, but opinions vary! |
