Very good for the price. Perhaps the best value trackday tyre you can get. Not the best but they're far cheaper than the common alternatives. Not quite the dry grip of 888s but better in the wet when worn a bit. The Nankang NS2r is also getting good reviews but I haven't witnessed them first hand.

I fitted rsr s to the back of my saff james, really really impressed with them ,
I was goin to fit the toyo 888s but just couldnt justify the the extra money they were compared to the rsr s ,
not sure what they grip like in the wet , but id say your car like most cossie s rarely see wet roads lol
just make sure your clutch is good , my clutch has now started slippin with all the grip lol
