    CV joint going bad?

    Another clutch thread? Yes. ACT vs SPEC vs ... ?

    Clutch I'd go ACT all the way or even centerforce if you can get one. I'd go with a clutch similar to stock, and make sure it got a nice strong pressure plate. If you're going with racing only then I'd go with a 4 or 6 puck clutch. How may mile were on the car when the clutch went out.

    Chopped tires

    I've had this.... I've had this issue once, and it was a bad wheel bearing allowing just enough play to cause the cupping on the inside, and outside. it was bad enough to make the tire wear goofy, and not bad enough to cause any noise or pull to the side. In my experience cupping like this...
