They grip like hell up front, but having them up front with a road race alignment and driving them very hard they lasted only about 3000miles, the rears about the same . I drive hard and my car is powerful and heavy though

Do you have a Fays2 Watts link on your car yet, if you don't your missing out!

The watts link just takes your car to a new level, it's worth every penny!
