Just curious... when do you stop making changes?

No lockups, get better/bigger brakes
Now you get a lockup, get bigger tires
No lockups again, get better/bigger brakes
Get lockup again, get bigger tires
No lockups again, get better/bigger brakes
Get lockup again, get bigger tires.

... so, when do you know it's time to stop?

Quoting JDeRyke at aol.com:
