Got the Nitto 555 tires installed, and had an alignment done. I was trying to do the alignment myself by the string method, and I got it close, but kinda lost patience with the process. A local euro import shop came highly recommended by a neighbor who restores Porsches, seems like they did a very good job, attaining the specs I requested.
I also removed and reinstalled the C-Beam, as I was having some jumping of the shifter during acceleration and shifts. Turns out some of the original adhesive was preventing proper mating of the surfaces. The movement of the shifter is completely eliminated once the C-beam is properly seated.
With the new tires, alignment, and properly installed c-beam, the car feels incredibly smooth and balanced, compared to before. I was driving around today, in disbelief that the car is 21 years old with 192,000 miles on it. Ran the LT5 up to 7K a few times... It was a good day
