Treadwear may be horrible on these things, but it's worth it for sure.
I just took the car for a nice ride today. I don't know if it's the tires, the sways, the springs, the shocks or the bushings, but the car is absolutely wonderful. I spent nine hours carving back roads in Maine and New Hampshire today and I'm going to be smiling all week.
If I had done this on my Kumho Ecsta Supra 712's (maybe they should have spent some of that naming time making a better tire) I would be disappointed all week.
I really haven't taken a look at my tires to see how they're wearing, but if I get through the summer and fall with an autox and a track event I think they're worth the price of admission.
I highly recommend these to anyone needing new tires who can afford to use them for one season.

They are summer tires. Get a set of them and also look for a set of steelies to install snow tires/all seasons for the fall and winter seasons. This is also set on your area. I know some of us don't have winters with snow. 
I run a bunch of different tires from full slicks to snow jobbies. Azenis Sports are great bang for buck tires and can totally get rid of understeer.
I would suggest tires before suspension work to anyone. You can spend thousands on arms and coils and still run them thru **** tires while the guy next to you throws on a set of victoracers and whips your ***.
Your tires can improve braking as well as handling.

Trust the man in the Chef Hat, folks.
I put a set on Yokohama A520's on my Civic with stock suspension and it handled better on some turns than my 240, which had upgraded sways and Kumho Ecsta's at the time.
My old S12 with just Yok A509's handled incredibly well. It took some turns faster than I've been able to manage them in the 240. (S12 weighed about 300 pounds less)

I have been learning quite a bit in the last few months. I attended a control class and learn to drift a full circuit covered in penut oil. **** cooking with the stuff it makes for third gear drifting fun.
Peanut oil + off track ventures = 3lbs of pebbles in each of your fenderliners.
