As for tires. I know the ones i have arnt great. cossie1600 you meantoned to go for tires rather than sway bars. Any suggestion on tires? I did a driving school for firestone a while back and we had RE-11s on 3 series BMW's and those tires were awesome. Any other suggestions? Comments? Should i just go their on these tires and see what its like?
You can't go wrong with the AD08s, RE11, XS or the Direzza Z1 or even NT05. It all depends on how much you want to spend and what level you are at. It's an expensive set of tires regardless, freaking sucks.

I loved the RE050's on the car, I went through the rears in 12k and the front in 16K. I like to drive hard lol. I have the Goodrichs on now but if they wont perform well on the track id rather put the money into tires rather than other susp parts that wont make a difference bc my tires suck

Yea i noticed that when i got the tires on my car now. How are the NT05's I had the 555R's on my old muscle car and thought they were a pretty good tire. i know the RE-11 are a lot, along w the rest of the tires for our cars


I Dont plan on tracking my car ALL the time but im def going to a couple track days with some buddies every now and again. Maybe like 3 times this summer. Not looking to go pro.. yet lol
