For handling? Don't drop it at all.
atm i'm getting through tyres every 2.5k on the front, in my experience on my previous cars the fronts seem to last me twice as long afta lowering a car and letting it have abit of camber / \ . I am literally eating the edges off atm.
edit: and I'm just to poor to be shelling out in the long run on tyres
You shouldn't be getting through tyres that quickly unless you're wheelspinning everywhere.
damn right, my old 1.4 has had the same kumho tyres up front for 12k n they only just got a warning from mot!!!
kumho arte cheap crap tho innit, so i thought that was good!!
kumho are ok
Nankangs are pretty good int eh dry but shiocking in teh wet
Proxies are ace in the dry, pretty good in the very wet, but shite in the damp
my mates got nakangs on the back of his mr2 turbo!!
