i also had a few burton boards and the quality wasn't there so i say away from them.

if you want to go burton try the custom or the love, there burtons high end boards are should be pretty good.

The custom seems like it would be a little stiff for what I want to do. But idk
If I got the love, would I HAVE to use burton bindings?

I think they have a pretty stiff sidewall, not quite as stiff as the nto5's though.

The customs arent to stiff either, they have great pop. I had a few customs, but ride a uninc now

Nope their sidewall is very stiff, great autox tire and holds up well for trackdays too..

BTW I am taking a half day and going to the dyno today, I'll call you when I am on my way back to Philly

you could try the custom v-rocker, rocker boards are softer then camber boards.

+10 and +15 offset. Doubt Ill clear anything bigger than the 235, maybe a 245. But If I dont run the 5mm and 3mm spacer I can clear the 255, but then It's just not as flush.

I checked it out today, that thing is sick, but also a lot of money. I'm pretty settled on a k2 www and rome 390.
