Just as a matter of maintenance I install new shocks every year. The Bilsteins are lower cost so this does not hurt as much and is a way lower cost compared to tires.

Thought I would post a correction sheet for handling problems too. I have posted it many times before but it is easy to forget what to do when your car is not right.

Understeer Corrections

Front Suspension Rear Suspension
Softer front springs Stiffer rear springs
Thinner or no front sway bar Rear sway bar or a thicker one
Raise front tire pressure Lower rear tire pressure
Softer front shocks Stiffer rear shocks
More negative front camber More positive rear camber
Remove weight from the front Add weight to the rear
More down force in the front Less down force in the rear
Wider tires in the front Narrower tires in the rear
