From what I've gathered, I need to suck it up and get over the fact the fronts are still perfectly usuable and buy a matching set of 4. So, I've got that figured out at least.

I drive mostly on the street with about 3-4 trips a year to the drag strip. I would like to try autocross a couple times next year with maybe more in the future. Money is a factor but not the deciding factor. A couple hundred extra isn't a big deal, but an extra grand is.

Everyone recommends the RE11 highly, but some threads say its outdated and has been surpassed. There are threads praising the S04, PSS, V12 etc. but they all say the same things (quieter, stickier etc).

For my situation, what would you recommend? Also, what sizes can I go up to on stock sport wheels and stock suspension. I think 305's stretch a bit much for me for the stock wheels.

Thanks in advance for any help!!
