Have you tried the 20's or 18's? I felt there was to much understeer in my Hyper so I switched to 18's. It went form turning wide, to spinning out if I cut the wheel to hard. Its a HUGE difference. Just make sure you use red loctite on those bottom knuckle bushing screws.

Not yet. I've read a bunch of stuff about suspension alignments recently, so it's on my list of things to try though.

You are right Furadi, mine came with 22's on it and came with the 20's and 18's as the optional ones. Which ones do you suggest more? 20 or 18?

Try them both! I went straight to the 18's though.
