Just ordered Nitto NT01's to replace my R888 which do double duty for AutoX and HPDE. I use them when I can't find anyone to bring my Hoosier A6's down for me. Instead of going 275 square I decided to go a little meatier out back with 275/40r18 front and 305/35r18 rears. Hopefully the stagger doesn't mess with my setup too much! I guess with all the adjustability I have with the KW coils and adjustable camber arms I can help dial out under steer anyways ough, right?

Drove the car to work today. It scraped EVERYWHERE. Paint lines dividing lanes scraped the exhaust system and the new bug splat on the front bumper must have been when I rear-ended a spider.

But seriously, the car is low, not sure what I'm going to do about it. It has a 2-finger "gap" already. The front air deflectors are 1.25" above the ground, exhaust system is about the same.

Looks kinda cool though.

I ran my car is B stock last month... Pretty much just showed up and drove to get a baseline feel for how the car acts on track. Somehow had two 400+hp EVO Xs in my class so I came in third out of three.

Running again next weekend... New rotors, pads and lines, also got a set of K&N short ram intakes. I'm on 245/285 Bridgestone S04s which were surprisingly not crappy at the first event although I'm guessing that as I get faster I'll probably end up getting a dedicated set of track wheels/tires.

Does anyone here run 18s for track wheels with sport package brakes?? I'm thinking thats the direction I want to go for the cheap/light factor.

A few posts above you are 2 guys running 18" f14's, definably can be done and will save some money on tires.
I'd look into the rule book on scca's website, I don't think the short ram intakes are legal in stock class. Not sure if you're wanting to run Bsp or BS just thought I'd let you know

Probably because with your mods you are in ASP, which is where 400hp evos run...

I run Enkei PF01 18x9.5" +35 18x10.5" +15 rims with Toyo R888 275/40r18 square right now. I have Nitto NT01 275/40 front 305/35 rear I want to use this season. This fits over the sport brakes without spacers as well. Loved the R888 for HPDE and autocross. My region runs on a long airstrip with runs that last up to 80-90 seconds and sometimes get into 3rd gear for a majority of the run, so the R888 do have a time to heat up. Semi-slicks like that aren't always the best choice for autocross at smaller events. Also, like someone had already said, those Evos sound like the ASP cars I run with (ugh they're not easy to beat). Maybe should have someone re-evaluate which class you're in.

Meh an ASP 370z should be faster than my car and I would have won ASP even on a much slower coned run at Nationals this year...

Trying on the new shoes today, excuse the bad photo but I think the 285's fit pretty well.

Where'd it go? Welcome to come thrash the 370 at Wilmington or Peru.

Last I checked there's no national level Peru event this year. Not sure what part of IN you're from but don't forget about the Toledo events. We've got 2 here this year although getting into the Pro will probably damn near impossible at this point.

Did you stay with stock widths and offsets?

Good call. I'll probably make it to Toledo for the Match and at least one of the Pros. Peru is good concrete if you can make it.... they usually have the Hoosier Challenge and some decent local events.

Did the Peru match tour last year. Liked the surface, just not all the gravel between the course and paddock.
