not worth it on a front wheel drive.

tire wear is the least of your worries if you DD a welded diff

parking=impossible

This is not for a street car that gets driven to work mod. It is so damn hard to turn the wheel its not even funny. Track car make sure to park in the back so you have plenty of room to park/pull the car out so your not spending 5 minutes to get the car to the staging lanes.

just do it then if you dont like it then by a toyota paseo
