I don't want to get Hoosiers just yet because I cant fit all four inside the car! I miss the RA1s, but I am not sure how much faster the RA1s are over the RE11, probably less than a second.

Umm, The Toyo RA1's are quite a bit faster than the RE11, easily about 2-4 seconds a lap depending on other variables (even the proposed used RA1's would be at least 1-3 seconds faster than a RE11 depending on how many heat cycles are on the used RA1) .
For one of the best R compounds try the Toyo R888 (replaced the RA1's)
