I still find the term "overdriving the tires" a bit... out there.
I said stock set up. Not necessarily a stock alignment. They are 2 totally seperate things. Remember if you put bias ply slicks on there it'll be better than going with r compounds as slicks don't need assanine amounts of camber to function properly. Many people rip the outside of their tires because 1. their tires suck or 2. they don't have the right tire for the alignment they have. A sway bar has nothing to do with it. Remember a Lotus 7 has no front bar at all and it would outhandle anything you can throw at it provided you can get that coventry climax started.
