the vibrant header is bar none the best you can get for the car. had too many issues with the obx.

the corksport catback is hard to beat for the price, sound is nice too

Good eye! I noticed that too and had it taken in for an alignment and to have the suspension checked (everything suspension-wise is still stock--till next weekend!). The Goodyear service center that did the alignment said that the alignment was not very far off and that everything was fine with the rear suspension. No leaks and the shocks were working fine.

I thought the reason for cupped tires was because of worn suspension parts. But they said everything was fine. Any ideas of what else could cause this?

You are not rotating your tires properly or often enough.

That would probably be it then! I will shamelessly admit to being a little lazy about rotating my tires. I have unidirectional tires and can't rotate them the way you really should. I could switch the back and front around on each side but wouldn't all four tires eventually look cupped? Sorry that this was (jacked)
