Vlad, nice cars! I've seen that single wiper conversion on machschneller. How much did it cost to get it done at a shop? Or did you do it yourself...

The single wiper arm cost me about 1 bone.... time is money.... lol. My boy Jay is on his second set of Parada spec 2's and he freekin loves them. He says the wet traction is off the hook as well as dry traction. They are also fairly affordable. My brother has the 712's and he likes them so far. He hasnt had a chance to break them loose yet but hes happy with them. Trust me my brother knows his tires..... hes been to skip barber twice and has 3 racing licences. He also had a set of the ES100's. Sticky as hell but they wore way to quick, but his driving style is probobly different than yours. So my opinion is Parada's if your a overly spirited driver for performance or Kumho's for a daily tire. I have the 711's and I have no beef with them. I cant say much though they were the first set of tires I rapped my ///Motorsport replicas in. Ill prolly end up going with Parada spec 2's this time around. But deffinatly consider the ES100's Ive heard nothing but good things about them.

how much do the 17" Kopi's weigh?

[boom-monkey]

About 22 lbs I believe. Definately not a performance wheel. I went to the local drag strip with the Kopis on and then with the stock 'weaves and my time dropped by .4 sec. It's ok for me on the street though cause they look so damn good.

I did it myself, took me half a day, it's a b-i-t-c-h to install

It's 21lbs actually. And it's not THAT heavy. Bear in mind it IS a 17" wheel.

If you want something for performance, just go and get 15" Kosei K1s or 16" SSR Comps

[Rob]

17x8" comps=~14lbs :P

Dude ......... way off topic but yo car is hot man.

ES100's are sticky, but I don't think they will last a year.

I wouldn't recommend Kuhmo 712's.

how many miles do you have on your ES100s? I'm at around 8,000. They are much grippier now than they were after the first thousand miles, I've gotten fairly comfortable with them too. I've even driven on a little bit of ice with them and they do just fine. I wish they had better hydroplane resistance but they were pretty darn cheap so I can't complain too much I guess. I'll probably get another 10-12k out of them I think before they are worn out, but who knows. :)

We just pulled Jarvis' Borbets and ES100s off 2 days ago, and the tread on the inside of the back wheels was almost bald after maybe 6000 miles. So, if you car is dropped, a camber correction kit probably wouldn't be a bad idea. I'm just hoping mine last a little longer than that.

If you have camber issues, rotate-rotate-rotate ;)
