New springs all sag massive over time. That's why stock Turbos after a year or so all have their noses pointing up in the air! Why height adjust-ability is so important for these cars. Rake is really important to handling and feel.

I will try to dig up the sagging post summary I did ages ago.

Alignment specs were generated from using others as reference points (including GT3) and then fine tuning from there given road-test, mod, road-test, mod over and over ie. fully custom spec!

Thanks Alex, how has the tire wear been for you since you went with these specs? I currently have Bridgestone RE050A tires but will need to replace them soon. I'm thinking of going with the new Michelin Super Sports.

They are not N rated yet though right? I would go for those anyway given the great reports.

My tire wear has been every 10-12k miles or so. I don't do much track work but I do have way more torque than even a GT2RS so that doesn't help tire wear.

I couldn't get Michelins last time round and had to go for Pirellis. So I am itching to return back.

Not yet as far as I can tell. Not sure if they'll give them the N rating. 10-15k has been the average mileage that I get out of my tires despite the fact that I hardly have as much power as you do.

Tomorrow I drop off my Turbo to get these new Michelin Super Sports tires & pillow mounts installed:








Just in time for track day at ORP this Sunday!
