Be very careful on R-Compound tires with stock struts and shocks, these tire grip so well they can create bicycling on tighter auto-x courses. Work up to your limits until you are ready for suspension upgrades and you will be much happier in the long run. Also a very good way of checking for proper tire pressure is to put a couple 1"-2" long lines of white shoe polish on the tire shoulders. It's very easy, if your scrubbing the entire line off, then up your pressure, if your not even touching these lines, lower your pressure, it's that simple. Oh and some crash bolts for negative camber in the front suspension from Micro Image, will be a huge improvement!

Can you explain what you mean by bicycling? Thanks
