Default DD on welds??

OK guys I was just wondering how many of you drive you cars with welds or any other big and lils on the street? Or how often you do? My camaro will stay put up for the rest of winter but when it warms up again i may drive it daily and i want some prostars or something similar. I will probably get slicks and skinnies and maybe buy another set of rears with DRs for street use. The road here in IL are not the greatest though and I know the skinnies are **RACING USE ONLY** LOL but i wont care about that until i hit a big A$$ pothole I will eventually get a nice set of 17" wheels or something but i was just wondering.

You can daily drive on big/little Welds but be careful when taking corners or turns with skinnies. And remember the car won't brake as fast.

I drove to TN and back with Welds.

I daily drive on my prostars with skinnys in the front, and even daily drive on my ET Drags, just corner slow and leave some room in front of you and the person infront of you, skinnys arnt the best for stopping but our roads are shitty here in ohio and ive been fine..

500 miles, to and from work on weekly basis.

Like they said above take it easy on the curves and breaking hard. Skinnies are not meant to be driving crazy cutting people off and swerving thru lanes at high speeds. They take a good amount of weight off the car.
