You could run the 235's at the front and 215's on the rear.

[M@lew]

You put the 215 on the x9? Yikes I thought 225 was pushing it stretch-wise for track.

Perry the reason I don't run staggered is they are two different sets of tyres and is rather keep them together. Will run 215 all round for daily

Te37sl will be just daily set, symphorced reminded me the 235 might scrub so ill give them to my dad in his wrx and run 215 all round.

I get what you mean =) Have you thought of 225's as I'm thinking of using 225's on 17x9's just because there will a bit too much stretch on 215's

Yeh centreline suspension are awesome and top blokes as well. Got my alignment done there and am going back again for sure. You pay a premium but you get what you pay for there.

you mean you havent tried? on yokohama r1 sdrives and kumhos Ku36's, 215/45 on a 9' wheel isnt bad at all

the tyre wall seems to sit very snug with the lip, doesnt look like its about to unbead.

215/45 on a x9 is less than ideal for track work lol. Fair bit of stretch happening there.

[fr4n]

no definitely not for track work

lol sorry

Pfft, 195 is stretch on x9.

Australia Day, what a day it was!

I took part in the Tampered Motorsport track-day on a very hot summers day. The atmosphere was great at the track and there was a fair few Honda entries (which made it much more exciting). Since the last track-day I installed my coilovers and acquired a set of AD08s.. the result? BRILLIANCE

The first session was all about getting used to the new height of the car, the added front camber and warming up the tyres, so I was shocked to return to the pits with a time of 1:44.9!! Already I was almost 3 seconds quicker than the EP3s PB and had beaten my DC5s PB by half a second! I was astounded, the tyres felt great (although minor squeal) and the car turned in like a go-kart!

Second session came around and I was ready to push the car until... BRAKE PADS VANISHED! My pads were completely gone after just 2 laps in session 2, the squeal of the backing plate and clip were cringe worthy, so I was about to call it a day early until.. Matt (Lemmiwinks) found a front set of DC5 front pads in his van and lent them to me! Thanks again Matt, could not have progressed without you.

The pads were fitted pretty quickly and I decided to give the car a few more cracks at a PB (and take some passengers for a quick scare). Brakes were feeling a bit sticky at this point but I decided to push the tyres the best I could without much of a braking distance and without a passenger I eventuated a Winton PB of 1:44.5. The car felt great and was good for a sub 1:44 but for now, I'm a happy camper!

Some new mods going in (some already in) in preparation for Cindy's first Phillip Island experience in a week's time. Will update closer with those new mods and some other exciting info, thanks for reading

Peace
