I'm not sure I'm satisfied with the gap up front, but I'm trying to avoid fiddling with the stock suspension. Also, when the tires are cold, I get some vibration (gets better when warm tires or warm weather). I don't think there is any significantly abnormal wear patterns, even though I've got the camber neg 1.8 up front (stock is neg 0.8-0.9 according to the alignment sheet).
Seems like a very wide tire to go on 9.5's (tho LOOKS ok!); I thought RE-11's only came in 285/30/18? Any reason you went with 9.5 instead of, say, 10?
