Hopefully I’ll have my car useable by then… haha- it’s pretty much been parked since the last autocross in October I think… If I can get the struts swapped out on the Impreza (and some kind of tires for it), maybe I’ll even try to squeeze that in… yup, definitely feeling lazy this year. ---

ebay coils son. Actually the sumitomos got a much better review than the dz101’s. Also this car is my daily driver so why get the star specs which suck balls in the rain and lose tread like crazy? Also you might happen to think the obx header sucks but it is temporary until i swap. Youll like the suspension joey since you lied and told me you were on koni ground controls. LOL Cmon give me one more facepalm i havent seen it enough. ---

Let’s face it, the NSX has seen a few tires in it’s 18 years. These are by far, hands down, the best tire I’ve used on the car. The NSX shows handling deficits in other mundane brands I’ve tried like Pole Position 2’s/3’s, ContiSport Contact2’s/3’s, Mich Pilots, etc etc. Not this tire. Turn in is sharp, cornering hold is predictable and very aggressive, braking ----s your eyeballs out of their sockets. I am not gentle on these at all; ramping the on/offramps will have your partners seeking divorce/breakup/exit from the vehicle. Can you tell these are fun tires yet? Tread compound heats up quickly like racing rubber, but wears like it, too. Be prepared for replacing the NSX rears by 8k. Oh, and don’t ‘delay’ replacing the rears too when you see the treadwear going; these babies hydroplane easily with their huge tread blocks when they’re near the end of life. Being reasonably priced, this is really a no brainer guys. Don’t waste your time even looking for another brand, I’ve tried them all. Z1 Star Specs get the crown. ---
