What are your tires? What size and ratio?

Do you mean the tires slip and smoke comes out? Or do you mean they rub
against the body or something?

I don't see why that would help, unless the alignment is _way_ out of
whack. An alignment would not be a bad idea though.

I wouldn't think so.

I don't like the idea of cutting coils off. Get the right springs if
they need to be lowered.

Sounds to me like you need a big 2.0Liter or a VR6 to weight the front
