All that i have done to it was put on 412 shocks on the rear; they have been on for 4 months now with no problem.

New tyre (not a Metzler Lasertech) fixed it. Cheers, Richard ~~~~~~~~~~~~ 09 America, Staintune Pipes, K&N, Breathe, Hagon Nitros, AI & O2 removed, tune 20184 (modified), MTX-L a/f gauge
