    Default new boots

    well i got my veccy some new boots and had them put on tonight and what a difference they have made, the car is more stable in a straight line, alot quieter and a hell of alot lighter on the steering, only complaint - a bit of vibration at 80 mph (is that the balancing it wasnt there before) so if anybody wants some cheap used nct5's!!!!

    Yep, definitely. The Vec/Signum is sensitive to how it'a balanced. After I had all four boots replaced I had some vibration. Went back and got them to look at it again. A more experienced guy did it this time and told me that there was too much weight on. Redid it and it was fine.
