[quote="Petrucci"]"the best handling stage 1"... this interests me a lot !!! i probably have the "worse handling stage 3" , maybe we can go one with the other ? ROFLMAO

Pet, it probably also has a lot do do with the fully adjustable rear beam, tca's, coilovers and the fact its had a full geometry set up with corner weighting

I thought my yoko's would wear but they have held up really well.

I think the Bridgestones are more suited to standard cars, my old mans beemer has S-02's fitted (265-35-18 rear 225-40-18 front) and i'm not a big fan of them really. (And I do a lot of miles in the car!) Especially at £230 a corner i'd want something better than they offer!

didn't have time to do it at noon, didn't stop working today

but when i used it to go and get a sandwich, i noticed and remembered something : when cornering hard, sometimes, or when braking hard, i can hear a kind of "clonk" sound coming from suspension... so something is DEFFO moving !
