I really like them. I think they are about the best spring solution available. I have found their limitations at the track but for mostly daily driving and small amounts of tracking I love them. I think coilovers will be replacing them soon hopefully though if I can swing it.

Yeah, I dont plan to track the car, maybe next spring, but I will probably go to coil overs by then also.

Newer RE01R is the RE-11. Just wondering how much is that RE01R, if anyone had them before. For 255/45R17 or around there for 17".

What do you think about the dunlop z1 star specs? Read some good things about them and was thinking about going with those after my stockers wear out.

Probably the best tire out right now. In STU they are the fastest tire right by AD07's. Most any competitive street tire classed car runs them. They are a smidge faster than the RE01R and are cheaper. Just really hard to find because of the demand.

Found a guy selling his IX Cosworth 272 cams for $400 with about 8k on them. I'm thinking that's a pretty good deal, but wasn't sure if I should go with the GSCs or Kelfords instead. What do you guys think?

Chris's cossies made pretty good power, but i have always been a huge fan of the gsc/kelfords, they way the cam ramps up just can not be beat. That is a nice price but you can find the same king of deals on the gsc's. Really you cant go wrong with any of you choices

Yeah, I've been debating over this for some time now. I received a quote on the GSC S2s for $569 shipped, which isn't bad either. Know of any better pricing?
