Alternatively, if you want a little more life out of your tires and don't mind not having the absolute fastest tire, I'd go with Hankook RS3 V2s, same size (or maybe 285s on the rears)

So what's everyone running alignment wise? I just added a little camber in the rear to -2 and fronts at -1. Toe I kept close to zero -.15.. anyone have any better recommendations?

Camber:
Front: -2 to -3
Rear: -1.5 to -1.8

Toe:
0 all around

I run ASP though, so getting more front camber via aftermarket upper control arm is allowed.

Yeah, I wish some eccentric bolts would work but I'm gonna stick with BS. I had to up rear camber a little due to outside rear tire wear. Anyone having this issue?

I run ATE super blue for clutch and brakes, royal purple diff and tranny. mobile 1 oil, I've ran this for 3 yrs now and everything has held up pretty well. The main reason is I get a discount for these fluids, so more money for go fast parts.

Has anyone ran the re-11 285/35/19 on a stock front rim? I know the kumho xs did but would like to be sure before I purchase

Learned a couple interesting things this past weekend:
1. Disabling the yaw sensor (a Street/Stock-class allowance) also disables traction control.
2. Trying to disable traction control in the middle of an autocross run is very difficult

so if they allow it i'm running. if not then fuck em
Where do you plan on running FP? I know all the noise ordinance for Philly Scca and NNJR scca. Philly is 98 db max at 50'. so, at 95 db you get a warning and 97 it's a fix it. NNJR is similar. You should run philly scca.

I'd listen to him if I were you. He may know a thing or two about our cars and autox

I did. for year and half. I honestly had a lot of fun but felt 285 might be bit too much for front. 275 I'm feeling a lot better. I actually have a set of 285-35/19" re-11 sitting in garage. Maybe have 7000-8000 miles left on them. I'm going back and forth on selling them or keeping them.

how do you disable yaw sensor in our car? shouldn't with VDC off, you're pretty much turning everything off (except abs)?
2. most frustrating feeling ever. We have all done it haha
