Hmmm wanna help me install mine (swift springs)? I'll buy lunch and beer...:tup::tup:

You go and get spring compressors from Advance or something?

How much ya get em for?

With the sale discount of $70.00 off and the refund for the tire installation and disposal fee, etc. It wound up being approx $1304.00

Nice. I'm probably going with those, since I heard rumblings the PSS's dont survive as well for track conditions...

for tires?? ouch..:wtf2:

PSS is more of a street tire that reaches up to track status. RE-11 is more of a track tire suitable for the street. While the PSS will grip just as well, from what I understand they don't withstand extended track time without chunking.

Though I have read it does take a pretty long and hard session (that's what she said) to get them to chunk. Nonetheless they won't be as durable as the RE11.

These are performance cars... they deserve performance tires.

With mount & balance I'm out about $1500 or so for my PSS. :tup:

Yeah, that's twat I heard. See what I did there?

:ugh2: theres a difference though, performance = track, everyday driving = suitable tires, without all the performance hype.:tup:

:icon17:

With tires you get what you pay for. I will never cheap out on tires again. I did once when I gave the Hankook V12s a try. Never again.

Tires are probably one of the most important components of a car if you drive hard.

If all you do is tool around, however, then go ahead and get some Hankook tires lol

Agreed. They are arguably the most importent component of your suspension system. It always pains me to see guys spend big money on suspension parts only to put on a cheap set of rubber.

Ouch? Have you priced the Bridgestone RE-50s you got with the Z yet?

Nope... :tup: why?

Well if Steve gets the Mustang beast ready this summer perhaps we'll find out.

Modding two cars is expensive so I'm not sure if I want to take it out on track this year... maybe next when it's paid off. But for the track I won't be using the PSS, I'll be on 18x10 Enkeis with some real track only tires.

Or worse yet, giant wheels, and then stretching tiny-*** tires over them. Stretched tires make me want to choke a bitch.

I'm with ya there. But apparently herrafrush is in, bro! :shakes head:

Bridgestone RE50As Max Peformance Summer at Tire Rack

245/40/19 x 2 = $644.00

275/40/19 x 2 = $674.00
-----------------------------
TOTAL = $1318.00

Thats without tax.

Thats too bad. I was looking forward to seeing you out there this year. Shado will likely be out there along with Bobo and even maybe Blades so at least we'll have some new folks in the Z crowd at the track.

Well let me know when/where. I would at least be able to do a Hyperdrive or two with you guys, but I just don't think I'll be where I want to be to spend the coin on a full weekend.

These are dates for NASA events at both Summit Point and VIR. Each of these events include Hyperdrives.

Apr 28-29, 2012 – Summit Point Raceway (main circuit) SPRING RUMBLE

Jun 16-17, 2012 – Summit Point Raceway (main circuit) HYPERFEST ’12

Jul 20-22, 2012 – VIRginia Int’l Raceway (full course)

Aug 18-19, 2012 – Summit Point Raceway (main circuit)

Oct 12-14, 2012 – VIRginia Int’l Raceway (full course)

Nov 3-4, 2012 – Summit Point Raceway (main circuit)

Thats crazy man...it makes me not wanna drive it knowing if I had to replace one, it could be painful..lol.

I'd be there wanting to spectate.:tup:

That is why when I ran my RE50s literally until they caught on fire, I purchased four from a forum member on here who was upgrading to RE11s and did not want to keep his, They had about 3K miles on them so he sold them to me for $750.00 with shipping. If you look on here you'll find them available from time to time. When they are you must be ready to purchase immediately as they won't be available for long.

damn dude... all right, you win. :tup:

Actually, you win!:tiphat:

Thanks Jon..

Wish I'd have known this. I got the PSS. Oh well, we live and we learn.

I think you'll be fine with the PSS starting out. You shouldn't need to worry about them until you really start to build speed.

We'll find out. I'm certainly a novice at the track, so we'll see how long they last me.

They should be fine. From what I have seen you have to be really fast and it's got to be warm to really get them to chunk.

Well, I plan on going to race tracks during summer time. lol, I think heat will be a factor.

But again, we'll see.

Yes but you have to be on basically a competitive time attack type pace. I bet you'll be fine for your first few events.

You're probably right.

fix'd :tup:
