This thread has become my bible. This is what I have in mind for my e30! I'm in Tempe we should kick it some time.

So we went softer with the rear and the car is a lot easier to predict now. We're getting a lot more grip and the car can carry itself through longer transitions. We still have a lot of settings to play with and more grip to get. The car should be set up fairly well for round 2 in Phoenix.
IFO on Sunday was a blast, a whole day of testing the car and having fun. We took 3rd in the mini comp at the end of the day. We're so stoked with the reliability of the car. No problems whatsoever. Peoples reactions on their ride alongs was probably my favorite part of the event!

So any updates on this thing? How's the LS1 treating you?

I run a 16/17 stagger which lets you run nice wide stuff out back and can still find 235's for the fronts.



Awesome runs! I was keeping tabs on you and the car looks amazing.. very quick learning curve to a new chassis

Seriously. The tire options for 15's and 16's suck.

On a different note, that second link worked - fukken killing that shit out there

Yep... Only thing going for em is cheap. Get my nitto neo gen for 230 shipped for 4 when discount tire was running a special. Great smoke last long and great grip

I'm currently on 15s until I get cash to buy new rims Lol. Not much support for that size.

123s all around, 235/45/17 up front. They are a crazy good tire, contact them about their racer support program. What sizes are you running?

[FLG]

Jezza what model tires? Might give em a shot.

What are you running up front? I love my star spec zii's

Awesome car man! Love following this.....Random question, I see you use the Achilles tires, how do you like them? Is there any dealers that sell them online?

These tires are incredible. Super stiff sidewall, tons of grip, and they make the most smoke. They surprisingly last a lot more than I thought. It could be do to the lighter weight of our car but new the 255/35/17 have 6/32 of tread which doesn't seem like much, but I'm getting at least 5 good runs out of them. Thats even without the camber zeroed out completely yet.
We get them straight from their warehouse in long beach, not sure what dealers sell them online. I know their out there though.
