I was thinking about that setup for my next trackday. Doesn't look bad at all.

On your tires how do the 265 feel up front? Thinking of going up a size on my next set. Should give better turn in.

The one negative (if you can call it that) thing about running 265s up front over the stock 245 width is that on center steering is a bit more vague. But it feels more precise everywhere else and has finally balanced out any remaining under-steer in low speed turns. This paired with my Stillen sway bars set to the stiffest setting has really gave the car a neutral yet predictable feel in most cornering situations.

Camber is probably going to play a little role there to.

That's true, I am running a bit more negative camber up front which at the time I had the alignment done, really sharpened up turn in response. But I noticed these tires sharpened up steering response slightly.

Tires look great! Just currious, what size spacers you are running?

Thanks boost, yep I'm running 20mm spacers all around. I could even go with 25mm spacers in the rear to make it a bit more flush but it looks great as is.
