i have had the car a few months now, and have started to push it now it has new proxies on it, but it seems to wallow slightly before handling well on corners, it has done 63k, is that about right to a suspension change? or could it be something else
Sounds like it could be new shocks required.
Did you have anything on the history of the car to say that any had been done in the past? If not I would take it to someone to have a look, when mine went it had the wallowing, not quite right feeling about it, and if they do say they need doing make sure that they do the pair of them. I take it that you have checked tyre pressures?
Hi,
Could just be the caracteristics of the tyre.
I've done 73k now and haven't needed mine replacing, I run on the RE040's which are a harder tyre wall.
Don't spend your money unnescessarly, get them checked out by someone who isn't just selling you them, becaouse they can!

i did do a bit of checking and found no mention of toyo proxies having this effect, so i assume its the suspension, prob best to get it on ramps and check for leaks
As mentioned in one of the other posts, it could be tyre pressure effecting the regitity of the tyre, I noticed that some kind sole at the garage had kindly inflated my fronts upto 30/32 last time it was in instead of 26, hmmm no wonder my turn in was poor !!
so a good digital gauge from Hlafords might not go amiss as well.
Good luck, hope you get it sorted.

so what is the recomended pressures for toyo proxies, i have 28 front 30 rear at moment
Ohhh you better talk to the Toyo boys - I like my stock RE040's which I have as 26 front, 32 Rear, but oviously these will be different for the Toyo's I suspect :-) :-) :-)

At the moment I'm running 29/34 in my T1-S's, which seems a nice comporamise, I think.

Dont you find that makes it a bit 'light' at the front end? I've gone the other way and run 25/34 on T1-R's I think most people agree that running slightly higher than stock pressure on the rear helps the feel, especially with the Toyos.
