    Absolutely. I do have concerns about haldex driven cars on race tracks though. I still think in this segment the Japanese manufacturers do AWD better.

    If I were after a daily driven car like that it'd be the R. The Evo feels cheap and isn't at all comfortable for everyday duties.

          Anyway...

          New rims are on and look awesome! I'm getting a little scrubbing, but it's only on plastic, so I'll "trim" these on the weekend.

          I'll try and get out on Sunday and get some pics of the new rims!

                Hey Philip... I ended up going to the horse races for my football team for a break up party. I'll come out... soon... I hope.

                Update... forum went down as I was just about to post the pics.

                ENJOY!

                  it's alright Robi, you missed out lol

                  seriously it was a good day and i'll do more in 2011. its a good track for newb but i still have a lot to learn, the main things being braking and down shift heel/toe.

                  anyway enough OT. can't wait to see your new wheels in person. you seemed to have reset your ride height and it's perfect now.

                    Actually... I made no changes to the suspension from when I had the Advans on there.

                    Basically had the tyres mounted to the rims, rim balanced, lifted the car with the car jack, took the Advans off, put the TE37's on.

                    I'm thinking of maybe adding a little bit more camber to the front... maybe.

                          Done... I'll get it done this weekend... either -2 or -3.

                          It'll handle like cr@p... but it'll look awesome!

                              Why? Increasing camber helps with turn in and cornering grip. Only in extreme cases (> -3 degrees) will the car be a little tricky to drive in a straight line. Wider wheels have a greater effect than more camber.

                                Yep. When my coils snapped and i had to go back to stock camber i was in shock at how much better the car feels with camber.
