I wasn't involved with 275s on the stock wheels That was someone else.

The rs3s were great. I'm planning on staying with them, if they're available. They seem to be in short supply right now.

I have been noticing the same thing. I noticed you said that you may go to a narrower rear tire... I'm guessing to help with rotation - what is your setup now? Rear sway bar? I'm hoping that square stance 255s with the xxx bar should be pretty close to neutral (with yyzs and konis).

As far as the R-S3 goes, I've been seeing rumors on the interwebs that the R-S4 will be coming out within a few months.

For me, 255s and a XXX bar was too much. I ran with no bar the last few events and it felt great, aside from the rear tires skipping a bit when sliding. That starts getting a bit unpredictable. Dropping down to a 245 will alleviate that hopefully. This year I'm going to start out with no rear bar, same tires as last year, and bc coilovers for the looks.

No. I'm pretty sure more negative camber is needed for the tires to clear the fender for anything much lower than V1s.

Hmm, jboogie was on peddars, no? I thought John said the v2/3s sat at the same height as new pedders but with higher spring rate. I'll be slotting the struts for more camber anyway, so it shouldnt be a problem.
