My car...

all thumbnails, click for bigger pick.. I really got some nose dive when I got on the brakes hard in the one pic. not bad for factory pads with 25k, and original non-warped rotors with 47k. [img]smile.gif[/img]

dayum! that thing is almost scraping the ground. I think my tires would push on me before my nose plunged that far.

btw do you have any suspension modifications? and what kinda tires are you running?

[shenanigans]

tires, are 275/45/17 Kuhmo 712s... THey have like 12-15k on them, they were starting to push on another turn, and a teeny bit in the smae spot where my car did a nose dive(in the one pic) They seem like they aren't sticking as good as they used to people told me that 712s start to get hard once you get a few heat cycles through them. Which I believe.

Suspension is factory stock with 47k, with exception of a poly tranny mount, but thatd not really suspension related.

I am more amazed by the brakes, they are replacement pads with like 20k miles on them and the rotors are factory original and with no warping, but they are thin.

not bad. and I know what you mean by the tires, Ive got the same ones, stuck great when they were new, but now no grip whatsoever. I think im goin for the kumho cometition tires. I forget the # but they look prettty nice

I have been considering them too...

Kuhmo V700 or Kuhmo V710.

a local guy offered me his used V700s(still have life, he upgraded to V710) for free... problem is I need to pick up 50mm offset 17X11s for all 4 corners to put them on then race them [img]smile.gif[/img]

710's no good for autox, you gotta heat em up to much. according to the reviews I've read at least. Ive been looking at 700's myself, just wondering how long they'll last and if a 285/30/18 will fit in my car.

I hear you can go that high.

I have heard on average about a season of track use primarily...

so ~14 autocrosses From what others have shown me.

hmm, thats sounds good too me. they puttin any street miles on those tires? to/from events?

[shenanigans]

I think htey have been slapping the tires on at the events... I know one guy who drives to events with the tires, I;ll ask how he is doing.
