Good work here Dzenno!

Looking forward to see what happens when you try it out under good weather conditions.

As you mentioned traction issues...you may want to consider the new Michelin Pilot Super Sport if they're available in your country yet. This is what I'll put on my summer wheels this year.

Those are too expensive to be burnt through at the rate I burn through my summer tires I'm actually running Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta for summers and I've been extremely happy with them...ultra quiet tires with very good grip in both wet/dry...have you ever tried them? I had Michelin PS2 before and these are very much on par with them but without a considerable dollar advantage

I am getting them from discountiredirect I think.. About 250 for the rear (each) and 180 for the front. Free shipping as well so works out to about 850.00 for the set, which I don't think is too bad.

From all I read these are one of the best tires in terms of grip.

Free shipping to Canada? That's a great deal...what're you getting in the front/rear in terms of size?

You need to hurry up and get those rear M3 components in! I swear the subframe bushings make the biggest difference in the car...its night and day and all that mushiness in the rear is gone.

Definitely. They were a hassle to install, but sooooo worth it!! Actually one of my favorite and worth-while suspension mods.

i want to get the tune sorted out with the RBs first, once that's under control I'll put those in...can't have too many variables in play especially when its my daily driver

Everyone raves about the rear m3 suspension bits and how much more stable the car becomes at WOT...i'm currently, especially with now with RBs on the car, experiencing a ton of side to side play all the way up to 4th gear when WOT...

Does anyone have a link or breakdown of part #s/costs for these M3 rear suspension bits? Guess I might as well get them on order and do it all along with an LSD.

I can't say that the M3 rear control arms make as noticeable difference as the subframe bushings. The subframe bushings are such a huge improvement...I'd just try those first and see how that treats you. The rear arms are easy to swap so you don't have to do it all at once

I'll most likely do all of them as I have them sitting in my garage anyway..subframe bushings take the most time anyway...i have the rear toe arms as well so a complete package

And NITTO NT05s are my track/street tire of choice. They lasted me all last summer too. This next summer I'm stepping up to the NT01s for track duty...but on the road they'd harden up pretty fast.

Nitto is definitely a leader in rubber gription for the track and the street, so you can't go wrong with whatever model you choose

Yeah if you have them might as well use them. It would be kind fun to put the subframe bushings on and feel the difference, then put the arms on a week later...just to have the comparison. Like I said, it's super easy to just swap the arms later
