I'm the original owner....and where it was a daily driver for awhile, its just not getting used much anymore.
16K on the OD so far....and I'd rather keep it than sell it.Question 1: The tires have good tread, but they have flat spots from storage...and they are 10 years old. Its time to replace them, but the OEM Goodyear GS-C's are $300+ each. I want something cheaper...in the $100 to $150 range. Remember, it doesn't get driven much, and when it does its not running on a track. At the same time, I dont want the Brand-X radials either. Can anyone recommend a decent tire? The Bridgestones and Firestones seem to be popular sellars online.......
Question 2: To avoid flat spots, how can I keep this car during the winter months when it may not get started very often. Are there safe ways to elevate a car in your garage that dont cost an arm and a leg? Or is it best to start it...roll the car around and shift weight to another part of the tire....
Question 3: I've got a Steeda Tri-Ax shifter in there, motorsports 3.73's in the rear, and a strut tower brace. But I do want to do one more thing to the car, even tho its not used that often. I want to lower it a bit. Stock springs give it an off-road look. Someone once upon a time said "throw in...these springs...." only I've long since forgotton what those springs were! :( Something like Ford Motor Sports "C" springs or something? In other words I want to put springs in there that wont cause me to have to change other components if I dont have to.....anyone know the part I need?
Question 4: Can someone recommend a good clutch replacement cable? My car has this nasty habit of, after sitting in traffic, really not wanting to go in and out of gear without force...sometimes I have to do a Clutch-Neutral-Clutch-Try the gear again just to get it to work.....I'm thinking the clutch cable is stretching...is that..like..complete and utter bullshit, or might I be on to something there? :) Thanks....
