shocks and wheels weights

05-15-2005, 10:56 PM

Hey guys .. couple questions ...

How long are shocks and springs good for good for? I have eibach streets and SLP Bils. I have had the car since 98 and I figure both were upgrade within a few years of that.

Also how commmon or uncommon is it for wheels to NOT have wheel weights? I recently started noticing that my front end gets squirelly at higher speeds. It almost feels like I hit a bump or a change in surface height and when the car comes back down or rebounds it seems to be unstable. Kind of like it skips to one side. I have KDWS on all fours and just have the new ones done in the rear. Any ideas????

thanks

It is possible to use sticky weights on the inner rim instead of putting the more traditional weights on the outter edge of the rim. I believe they call it "static balancing".

My wheels do not have any visable weights on the outside edges either.
