David - I like RA1's the best (shaved), but can't get them in a size I can use.

Ron - I am running 17 255/40 square and it is a good setup.

 

I ran the same set up last year and really liked it and with the Gendron FSB with Stance Coilovers the car felt well balance. I don't remember oversteering unless I wanted to, infact I have a bit of understeer which I like because it's easy for me to compensate by turning in a bit early.

 

For those running a nonstaggered setup on the track, I am assuming you switched up your alignment at the same time and are running a -2.5 - -3 camber in front, as well as adding a front sway bar to counter some oversteer.

My question is, if I do this but run my stock wheels as my street wheels, is it going to noticeably understeer/handle differently, and/or is camber wear on the front tire going to be significantly worse as well? I wouldn't really want to realign the car or switch out the FSB in between every event.

 

Yes, I have -2.5 camber or something closer front and rear. I don't think you would need thicker FSB if you run staggered, if your FSB is at mid or stiff settings you will more than likely understeer a lot. With -2.5 camber your front tire should not have bad camber wear if you stay 0 toe, my street tire wears pretty evenly.

 

FYI,
Trackdaze just added another date. July 7th and 8th (weekend) at Summit Main.

 

I think you are going to like them, David. I ran an old NT01R last year and they handles pretty good for my driving. At SP Main it gives me a lot of confident going WOT (flat out ) coming out of T5 while building speed thru 9 if I get right coming of T5. They warm up pretty quickly but you can over cook them after about 6 laps, at the same time though they are easy to cool down once you feel it getting greasy. I may have to get another set and then maybe progress to A6 or something.

I would imagine with the turbo I will be driving hard for a few laps and then taking a cool lap to keep the engine cool so it should help the tires, too. I just can't wait to get back on track!

I bet! Man, spring is coming up fast! What event are you hoping to make first Dave?

I haven't even looked yet. My one buddy is going to a PCA event the end of March. Maybe then? Depends on how the car does these next couple of weeks.

 

I wonder if they will require a roll bar. They don't on Summit's Shenandoah Circuit and the Main is actually safer (but faster).

 

I'm sure they will respond via e-mail.
