Added PSS9s, GT3 control arms & M PS Cup tyres
I did a little upgrade to the standard suspension by adding GT3 control arms and PSS9's. I changed the rubber to Mich PS Cup tyres. I had done a few track days and the (non Cup) M PS's got a little mothered. Also changed the brake fluid to some race spec type, and they guys corner balanced the car as well as twinking camber. The car's amazing. I drove 400km in it today (now 3,000 km on the clock). Got to watch out of the pot holes, and it's firm, but nothing to complain about.
I had read the M PS Cups were a bit dangerous when cold, but I've driven them cold twice now (with ambient temp of 20 deg), and they felt good on the road at raod speeds, and even when I pushed them when they were cold, they still stuck well to the road (even when I was being 'silly'). Not yet tried them in the wet.
The new setup of the car has made it feel like it's on rails. Grip levels feel like true R-spec levels.
I don't know how many k's I'll get out of the rubber. I estimate max 600km of track time - but no clue of what mix track / street k's I'll get.
Aesthetically looks great lowered too. Chopped 4cm off the standard height. No spoiler catches yet, just the black plastic flap sitting directly in front of front tyres catches.
